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}

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

v_0-gt = 0.

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

Solving for t we get

t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time t_0 since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity v_f it has gained is

v_f = gt_0,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity v_0; therefore,

v_f = 2v_0  = gt_0

which gives

t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity 2v_0 is

t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}

t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.

This t_{tot}, we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},

and solving for v_0 we get:

v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}

v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}

\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}

which from the options given is choice e.
