give the reason why the horizontal component of the velocity of a projectile remains the same at every point of its flight

Physics

Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

Because ...

-- If you ignore air resistance ... which we always do for these problems ... then there's NO horizontal force acting on the projectile.

-- Since there's no horizontal force on the projectile, its horizontal acceleration is zero.

-- Since the projectile has no horizontal acceleration, the horizontal component of its velocity is constant.

What travels faster than anything anything else in the universe?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The announcement he had made promised to overturn our understanding of the Universe. If the data gathered by 160 scientists working on the project were correct, the unthinkable had been observed. Particles – in this case, neutrinos – had travelled faster than light.

A catapult used by medieval armies hurls a stone of mass 32.0 kg with a velocity of 50.0 m/s at a 30.0 degree angle above the ho
NISA [10]

Answer:

The horizontal distance traveled when the stone returns to its original height = 220.81 m

Explanation:

Considering vertical motion of catapult:-

At maximum height,

Initial velocity, u =  50 sin30 = 25 m/s

Acceleration , a = -9.81 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Substituting

    v = u + at

    0 = 25  - 9.81 x t

    t = 2.55 s

Time of flight = 2 x Time to reach maximum height = 2 x 2.55 = 3.1 s

Considering horizontal motion of catapult:-

Initial velocity, u =  50 cos30 = 43.30 m/s

Acceleration , a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 5.10 s

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

   s = 43.30 x 5.10 + 0.5 x 0 x 5.10²

  s = 220.81 m

The horizontal distance traveled when the stone returns to its original height = 220.81 m
