A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (

a) Determine the time the projectile takes to hit the ground. (b) Find the distance from the base of the cliff to the point where projectile hits the ground. (c) Just before the projectile hits the ground: Find i) the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, ii) magnitude and direction of the velocity vector i.e. angle it makes with the horizontal. (d) Find the maximum height above the cliff top reached by the projectile.

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

Two forces, one of 100 ponds and the other 150 pounds act on the same object, at angles of 20°and 60°, respectively, withthe pos

<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

           F₁ = 100 cos 20 i  +  100 sin 20 j

           F₁ = 93.97 i  +  34.20 j          

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

           F₂ = 150 cos 60 i  +  150 sin 60 j

           F₂ = 75 i  +  129.90 j  

F₁ +  F₂ =  93.97 i  +  34.20 j + 75 i  +  129.90 j

F₁ +  F₂ =  168.97 i  +  164.10 j

\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.
