Question

Zoe is setting up a track for a toy car. The track has a ramp that is 32° above horizontal. If Zoe wants the car to travel as a projectile for 1.0 seconds, how fast does the toy car need to be moving as it leaves the ramp?
4.9 m/s
1.0 m/s
9.2 m/s
7.4 m/s m

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Not enough information.

IF we ASSUME she wants the car to be at LAUNCH LEVEL after 1 second of flight.

THEN

The highest point will have zero vertical velocity and will have taken ½ second to get there. This means that the initial vertical velocity was

v = gt

vy₀ = 9.8(0.5)

vy₀ = 4.9 m/s

vsinθ = vy₀

v = vy₀/sinθ

v = 4.9/sin32

v = 9.2466...

v = 9.2 m/s
