Question
A projectile is launched with an initial speed of \(40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) from the floor of a tunnel whose height is \(30 \mathrm{~m}\). What angle of elevation should be used to achieve the maximum possible horizontal range of the projectile? What is the maximum range?
Solution
The first step in solving 13 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A projectile is launched with an initial speed of \(40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) from the floor of a tunnel whose height is \(30 \mathrm{~m}\). What angle of elevation should be used to achieve the maximum possible horizontal range of the projectile? What is the maximum range?
From the textbook chapter Vector Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
