(A) greater than 60° above the horizontal
(B) greater than 45° but less than 60° above the horizontal
(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal
(D) zero

Answer:

The correct option is;(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

Here, we have for maximum horizontal distance

h = v×t

Where t is the time of flight

The time of flight is given by

s = v·t - 0.5 × gt² to maximize the time of flight, we therefore increase the height such that

Since the range is given by

Horizontal range, x = v·t·cosα

Vertical range, y  = v·t·sinα - 0.5·g·t²

When the particle comes back to initial level, we have

0 = v·t·sinα - 0.5·g·t² → 0 = t(v·sinα - 0.5·g·t)

So that t = 0 or t = \frac{2\cdot v\cdot sin\alpha }{g}

Therefore, horizontal range =

\frac{v^{2} \cdot 2\cdot  cos\alpha \cdot sin\alpha }{g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\alpha) }{g}

Therefore maximum range is obtained when α = 45° as sin 90° = 1

Answer:

(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is given by R = v²sin2θ/g.

For maximum range, sin2θ = 1 ⇒ 2θ = sin⁻¹(1) = 90°

2θ = 90°

θ = 90°/2 = 45°

So the maximum horizontal distance R is in the range 0 < θ < 45°, if θ is the angle above the horizontal.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

4,524,660 N

Explanation:

Assuming the submarine's density is uniform, 1/9th of the submarine's mass is equal to the mass of the displaced water.

m/9 = (1026 kg/m³) (50 m³)

m = 461,700 kg

mg = 4,524,660 N
