Answer:
<em>The range is 35.35 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Projectile Motion</u>
It's the type of motion that experiences an object projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.
Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object (also called Range) is:
The projectile was launched at an angle of θ=30° with an initial speed vo=20 m/s. Calculating the range:
The range is 35.35 m
It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.
Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90 S
= 1.32 N + 4.75 W
D =
D = 4.93 Km
direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west
