I think this is vectors. Sketch the two vectors A and B on the x axis and then find their magnitudes using cosine... i would like to know if i am correct.
Answer:
Vi = 94.64 m/s
Explanation:
I order to find out the initial velocity of the object, we can use third equation of motion:
2ah = Vf² - Vi²
where,
a = acceleration = -9.8 m/s²
h = maximum height covered by object = 460 m - 3 m = 457 m
Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, object momentarily stops at highest point)
Vi = Initial Velocity = ?
Therefore,
2(-9.8 m/s²)(457 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²
Vi = √8957.2 m²/s²
<u>Vi = 94.64 m/s</u>
