Answer:
a) Maximum height reached = 1878.90 m
b) Time of flight = 39.14 seconds.
Explanation:
Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.
Vertical motion:
We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.
Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.
In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g
and final velocity = 0 m/s.
0 = u sin θ - gt
t = u sin θ/g
Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.
So total travel time of projectile , ![t=\frac{2usin\theta }{g}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B2usin%5Ctheta%20%7D%7Bg%7D)
Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :
We have equation of motion,
, where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.
Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H
In the give problem we have u = 192 m/s, θ = 90° we need to find H and t.
a) ![H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{192^2\times sin^290}{2\times 9.81}=1878.90m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=H%3D%5Cfrac%7Bu%5E2sin%5E2%5Ctheta%7D%7B2g%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B192%5E2%5Ctimes%20sin%5E290%7D%7B2%5Ctimes%209.81%7D%3D1878.90m)
Maximum height reached = 1878.90 m
b) ![t=\frac{2usin\theta }{g}=\frac{2\times 192\times sin90}{9.81}=39.14s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Cfrac%7B2usin%5Ctheta%20%7D%7Bg%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%5Ctimes%20192%5Ctimes%20sin90%7D%7B9.81%7D%3D39.14s)
Time of flight = 39.14 seconds.
