Answer:
The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km
The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s
Explanation:
The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)
where:
x0 = initial horizontal position
v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity
t = time
α = launching angle
y0 = initial vertical position
g = acceleration of gravity
When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.
Then:
ry = 0 = y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²
Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0
0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)
t= 0 is discarded as solution
v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0
t = -2v0 sin α / g
t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.
Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:
Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α
Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km
Answer:
h = v₀² / 2g , h = k/4g x²
Explanation:
In this exercise we can use the law of conservation of energy at two points, the lowest, before the shot and the highest point that the mouse reaches
Starting point. Lower compressed spring
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
Final point. Highest on the path
= U = mg h
As or no friction the energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ m v₀²² = m g h
h = v₀² / 2g
We can also use as initial energy the energy stored in the spring that will later be transferred to the mouse
½ k x² = 2 g h
h = k/4g x²
