Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height
Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...
GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)
GPE = 24.5 J
Answer:
Approximately
(assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of
above the horizon.)
Explanation:
Initial vertical component of velocity:
.
The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing
is the same as the altitude
at which this projectile was launched:
.
Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is
(upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be
(downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:
.
Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be
. In other words,
.
Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of
would be:
.
Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately
.
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
i’m not 100 percent sure but I need points to ask questions good luck th
