Answer:
Centripetal acceleration.
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.
The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.
It is calculated through following formula
where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.
Answer:
a) θ₁ = 0.487º , b) t = 0.400 s , x = 11.73 ft
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use the projectile launch relationships.
The initial height is I = 5 ft and the final height y = 4 ft
y = y₀ + t - ½ g t²
The distance to the band is x = 40 yard (3 ft / 1 yard) = 120 ft
x = v₀ₓ t
t = x / v₀ₓ
We replace
y –y₀ = v_{oy} x / v₀ₓ - ½ g x² / v₀ₓ²
v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ
v₀ₓ = vo cos θ
y –y₀ = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² θ
5-4 = 120 tan θ - ½ 32 120 / (300 2 cos2 θ)
1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 sec² θ
Let's use the trigonometry relationship
Sec² θ = 1 - tan² θ
1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 (1 –tan²θ)
0.0213 tan²θ + 120 tanθ -1.0213 = 0
We change variables
u = tan θ
u² + 5633.8 u - 48.03 = 0
We solve the second degree equation
u = [-5633.8 ±√(5633.8 2 + 4 48.03)] / 2
u = [- 5633.8 ± 5633.82] / 2
u₁ = 0.0085
u₂= -5633.81
u = tan θ
θ = tan⁻¹ u
For u₁
θ₁ = tan⁻¹ 0.0085
θ₁ = 0.487º
For u₂
θ₂ = -89.99º
The launch angle must be 0.487º
b) let's look for the time it takes for the arrow to arrive
x = v₀ₓ t
t = x / v₀ cos θ
t = 120 / (300 cos 0.487)
t = 0.400 s
The deer must be at a distance of
v = 20 mph (5280 ft / 1 mi) (1 h / 3600s) = 29.33 ft / s
x = v t
x = 29.33 0.4
x = 11.73 ft
