a) The exit velocity of the projectile is 16.7 m/s
b) The maximum height achieved by the projectile is 14.2 m
c) The total time of flight is 3.40 s
d) The distance covered by the projectile is 46.5 m
Explanation:
a)
We solve this first part of the problem by applying the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on the projectile is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the projectile. Mathematically:
where:
F = 150 N is the force applied
d = 1.25 m is the displacement of the projectile (the length of the firing arm)
m = 1350 g = 1.35 kg is the mass of the projectile
u = 0 is the initial velocity of the projectile
v is the exit velocity of the projectile
Solving for v, we find:
b)
Assuming the projectile is fired vertically upward, then the initial kinetic energy of the projectile as soon as he leaves the cannon is fully converted into gravitational potential energy as it reaches the top of its trajectory. So we can write:
where:
is the initial kinetic energy
is the final potential energy
m = 1350 g = 1.35 kg is the mass of the projectile
v = 16.7 m/s is the velocity at which the projectile leaves the cannon
is the acceleration of gravity
h is the maximum height reached by the projectile
And solving for h, we find
c)
Assuming the projectile is launched vertically upward, then the total time of flight is twice the time it takes for reaching the maximum height. This time can be found by using the following suvat equation:
where:
u = 16.7 m/s is the initial velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
The projectile reaches the maximum height when the vertical velocity becomes zero, so when v = 0. Therefore, substituting,
So, the total time of flight is
d)
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction
First we have to analyze the vertical motion, to find the time of flight of the apple. We can do it by using the following suvat equation:
where
s = -27 m is the vertical displacement of the apple
is the initial vertical velocity
t is the time if flight
is the acceleration of gravity
Substituting we have:
which has two solutions:
t = -1.46 s (negative, we discarde)
t = 3.75 s (this is our solution)
Now we can analyze the horizontal motion: the projectile moves horizontally with a constant velocity of
So, the distance it covers during its fall is given by

Answer:
Explanation:
given,
diameter of inlet = 11.2 cm
r₁ = 5.6 cm
r₁ = 0.056 m ∵ 1 cm = 0.01 m
speed of inlet = 5 m/s
diameter of outlet = 17.5 cm
r₂ = 8.75 cm
r₂ = 0.0875 m ∵ 1 cm = 0.01 m
speed of outlet = ?
using continuity equation
A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂
π r₁² v₁ = π r₂² v₂
Velocity of liquid at the outlet of the tube is equal to 3.2 m/s
