Answer:
sin 2θ = 1 θ=45
Explanation:
They ask us to prove that the optimal launch angle is 45º, for this by reviewing the parabolic launch equations we have the scope equation
R = Vo² sin 2θ / g
Where R is the horizontal range, Vo is the initial velocity, g the acceleration of gravity and θ the launch angle. From this equation we see that the sine function is maximum 2θ = 90 since sin 90 = 1 which implies that θ = 45º; This proves that this is the optimum angle to have the maximum range.
We calculate the distance traveled for different angle
R = vo² Sin (2 15) /9.8
R = Vo² 0.051 m
In the table are all values in two ways
Angle (θ) distance R (x)
0 0 0
15 0.051 Vo² 0.5 Vo²/g
30 0.088 vo² 0.866 Vo²/g
45 0.102 Vo² 1 Vo²/g
60 0.088 Vo² 0.866 Vo²/g
75 0.051 vo² 0.5 Vo²/g
90 0 0
See graphic ( R Vs θ) in the attached ¡, it can be done with any program, for example EXCEL
Answer:
V = 90.51 m/s
Explanation:
From the given information:
Initial speed (u) = 0
Distance (S) = 391 m
Acceleration (a) = 18.9 m/s²
Using the relation for the equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
v² - 0² = 2as
v² = 2as
v = 121.57 m/s
After the parachute opens:
The initial velocity = 121.57 m/ss
Distance S' = 332 m
Acceleration = -9.92 m/s²
How fast is the racer can be determined by using the relation:
V = 90.51 m/s
