c) The speed at impact is 46.4 m/s at below the horizontal
Explanation:
The picture of the previous problem (and some data) is missing: find it in attachment.
a)
The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction
We start by considering the vertical motion, to find the time of flight of the ball. We do it by using the following suvat equation: for the y-displacement:
where we have:
y = -45.0 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (the height of the building)
is the initial vertical velocity, with u being the initial velocity (unknown) and
the angle of projection
t is the time of the fall
is the acceleration of gravity
Along the x-direction, the equation of motion is instead
where is the horizontal component of the velocity. Rewriting this equation as
And substituting into the previous equation, we get
And using the fact that the horizontal range is
x = 59.0 m
And solving for t, we find the time of flight:
b)
We can now find the initial speed, u, by using the equation of motion along the x-direction
where we know that:
x = 59.0 m is the horizontal range
is the angle of projection
is the time of flight
Solving for u, we find the initial speed:
c)
First of all, we notice that the horizontal component of the velocity remains constant during the motion, and it is equal to
The vertical velocity instead changes according to the equation
Substituting all the values and t = 3.78 s, the time of flight, we find the vertical velocity at the time of impact:
Where the negative sign means it is downward.
Therefore, the speed at impact is
while the direction is given by
So, below the horizontal.
