How much greater would the horizontal distance have been had the cannon beenrole="math" localid="1657023595972" 30mhigher?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Horizontal distance travelled by ball is 29mgreater than the original distance.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

v0=82m/s

=450

h=30m

Components of initial velocity are,

v0x=v0cosv0y=v0sin

For horizontal and vertical distance, the time of flight is the same.

02

Determining the concept

At 45 degrees, the ball travels maximum range when it lands on the same level, but here the ball travels below the same level. So, the range can be increased. First, find the time taken by the ball to cover a vertical distance of 30 m and using that time, find the horizontal distance. The horizontal distance travelled by the ball can also be found by using a kinematic equation.

Formula is as follow:

d=v0t+12at2 (i)

03

(a) Determining the time of flight for vertical distance

Using equation (i), the time can be found as,

-30=v0sin(t)+12(-9.8)(t)2

-30=82sin45t-4.9t2

-30=57.9827(t)-4.9t2

4.9t2-57.9827t-30=0

Solving this quadratic equation, the values of t can be found as,

t =12.3298 s or -0.49 s

Now, take the positive value of time,

So, the time of flight is 12.3298 s.

04

(b) Determining the horizontal distance

d=v0cos(45)(t)

d=82cos4512.3298=714.91m

Therefore, horizontal distance travelled by ball is 714.91 m or 715 m. So, the ball travelled localid="1657024832180" 715-686=28.9mdistance greater than original distance.
