Answer:
Initial velocity = 10 m/s
θ = 60°
This is the case of projectile motion
So the horizontal component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 cosθ
u = 10 cosθ
u = 10 cos 60°
u=5 m/s
x= 5 m
So in the horizontal direction
x = u .t
5 = 5 .t
t = 1 sec The vertical component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 sinθ
Vo= 10 sinθ
Vo= 10 sin 60°
Vo = 8.66 m/s
h=3.75 m
So height of robot = 3.75 - 0.75 m
height of robot =3 m
Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
