Problem 30P
A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 65.2 m/s at an angle of 34.5° 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 velocity of the projectile 1.50 s after firing.
ANSWER:
Solution 30P
Step 1 of 5
We have to determine the maximum height reached by the projectile.
The maximum height reached by the projectile can be determined by using the kinematic equation,
Upward direction is taken as positive.
and
Where,
final speed of the projectile = 0 m/s
m/s2
at
m
initial speed of the projectile in
direction =
projectile angle = 34.5 o
Thus,
Solving for ,
= 69.6 m
Therefore, the maximum height reached by the projectile is 69.6 m.
