Explanation:
Given that,
h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500
for t > 0.
At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.
We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket
Using mathematics maxima and minima
let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0
dh/dt = -9.8t + 125
dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125
9.8t = 125
t = 125 / 9.8
t = 12.76s
Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point
Let find d²h / dt²
d²h / dt² = -9.8
Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.
Then, the maximum height reached is
h = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500
h = -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500
h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500
h = 1297.2 m
The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m
From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.
Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.
The range of the projectile is 188 m
Explanation:
The motion of the arrow in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction
The path of a projectile is the combination of these two motions: see figure in attachment.
In order to find the horizontal range of the projectile, we just need to calculate the horizontal distance travelled.
We have:
t = 5.0 s (time of fligth of the projectile)
and the horizontal velocity is constant, and it is given by
where
is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
Substituting,
And therefore, the range of the projectile is:
