Answer:

t=12.25\ seconds

Explanation:

<u>Diagonal Launch </u>

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

x=v_ocos\theta t

\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, \theta is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}

There are two times where the value of y is y_o when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making y=y_o

\displaystyle y_o=y_o+v_osin\theta\ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Removing y_o and dividing by t (t different of zero)

\displaystyle 0=v_osin\theta-\frac{gt}{2}

Then we find the total flight as

\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_osin\theta}{g}

We can easily note the total time (hang time) is twice the maximum (apex) time, so the required time is

\boxed{t=24.5/2=12.25\ seconds}

What is Speed? the ability to rest the ability to rest the ability to minimize the time cycle of a given movement the ability to
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time.

Explanation:

The formula for speed is speed = distance ÷ time. To work out what the units are for speed, you need to know the units for distance and time.
