The correct answer is D) The closet point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
This does not refer to the Moon only. It refers to any satellite and to its closest point to Earth.
Answer:
Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°
The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.
Explanation:
The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).
In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.
Since this is a distance/time graph, the speed at any time is the slope
of the part of the graph that's directly over that time on the x-axis.
At time t1 = 2.0 s
That's in the middle of the first segment of the graph,
that extends from zero to 3 seconds.
Its slope is 7/3 . v1 = 7/3 m/s .
At time t2 = 4.0 s
That's in the middle of the horizontal part of the graph
that runs from 3 to 6 seconds.
Its slope is zero.
v2 = zero .
At time t3 = 13 s.
That's in the middle of the part of the graph that's sloping down,
between 11 and 16 seconds.
Its slope is -3/5 . v3 = -0.6 m/s .
