Answer:

28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The range of a projectile launched from the ground is given by:

d=\frac{v^2}{g}sin 2\theta

where

v is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta is the angle at which the projectile is thrown

In this problem we have

d = 81.1 m is the range

\theta=45^{\circ} is the angle

Solving for v, we find the speed of the projectile:

v=\sqrt{\frac{dg}{sin 2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(81.1 m)(9.8 m/s^2)}{sin (2\cdot 45^{\circ})}}=28.2 m/s

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?
AysviL [449]
Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.
