QUESTION:
A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at an angle of \(42.2^{\circ}\) above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine
(a) the maximum height reached by the projectile,
(b) the total time in the air,
(c) the total horizontal distance covered (that is, the range), and
(d) the speed of the projectile 1.50 s after firing.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Part (a)
The relation of maximum height of the projectile is,
\(h=\frac{v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}}{2 g}\)
Here, \(v_{1}\) is the velocity of the projectile at maximum height whose value is zero and \(v_{2}\) is the vertical velocity of the projectile whose value is \(v_{2}=v \sin \theta\) and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
