Question

Maximum range of a projectile is 1.6 m. Then the velocity of projection will be..... (g=10m/s)

Answer 1

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Maximum range (Rₘₐₓ) = 1.6 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

The initial velocity of the projectile can be obtained as follow:

Rₘₐₓ = u² / g

1.6 = u² / 10

Cross multiply

u² = 1.6 × 10

u² = 16

Take the square root of both side

u = √16

u = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the projectile is 4 m/s
