Step by step solution

01

The given data

The magnitude of velocity at maximum height,Vf=10.0m/s .

02

Understanding the concept of projectile motion

Projectile motion is the motion of a particle that is launched with an initial velocity. During its flight, the particle’s having horizontal directional acceleration is zero and its vertical directional acceleration is the free-fall acceleration . (Upward is taken to be a positive direction.)

We can find the velocity of the projectile at a given point by using components of the initial velocity. We can find the coordinates of projectiles by using a kinematic equation.

Formulae:

The first kinematic equation of motion,Vf=Vi+at (i)

The second kinematic equation of motion,d=d0+Vit+12at2 (ii)

03

a) Calculation for the magnitude of the velocity of projectile 1.00s before it achieves a maximum height

We know that at maximum height, the vertical velocity component becomes Vfy=0and there is only a horizontal velocity component,role="math" localid="1657024064243" Vfx=10.0m/s .

Before reaching to maximum height initial velocity is Vix=10.0m/s, we can find initial vertical velocity at 1.00s by using final velocityVfy=0at maximum height.

Using equation (i) and the given values, we get the initial velocity as follows:

0=Viy+-9.8m/s21.00sViy=9.8m/s

We can find resultant velocity by using horizontal and vertical components,

Vf1=10.0m/s2+9.8m/s2=14m/s

Hence, the magnitude of velocity of projectile at 1.00s before it achieves maximum height is 14m/s.

04

b) Calculation for magnitude of velocity 1.00s after reaching maximum height

Here initial vertical velocityViy=0at maximum height, we findViyafter 1.00 s. Hence, the final velocity using equation (i) and the given values is given as:

Vfy=0+-9.8m/s21.00s=-9.8m/s

Using resultant velocity equation we get, the velocity after reaching maximum height as follows:

Vf2=10.0m/s2+-9.8m/s2=14m/s

Hence, the value of the velocity after reaching maximum height is 14m/s .

05

c) Calculation for x coordinate of projectile 1.00s before reaching maximum height

We have to take x=0 and y=0 at maximum height.

Using equation (ii) and the given, we get the x-coordinateas follows:

Since ax=0along horizontal,

x=x1+Vixt=0

Substitute the values in above equation,

0=xi+10.0m/s1.00sxi=-10m

Hence, the value of x-coordinate is -10m .

06

d) Calculation for y coordinate of projectile 1.00s before reaching maximum height

The y-coordinate can be given using equation (ii) and the given values, we get

0=y1+9.8m/s21.00s+0.5-9.8m/s21.00s2y1=-9.8m+4.9m=-4.9m

Hence, the value of y-coordinate is -4.9m.

07

e) Calculation for x-coordinate of projectile 1.00s after reaching maximum height:

Using equation (ii) of distance and the given values for xcoordinateafter 1.00 s we get the x-coordinate as follows:

xf=0+10.0m/s1.00s+0=10m

Hence, the x-coordinate of projectile is 10 m.

08

f) Calculation for y-coordinate of projectile 1.00s after reaching maximum height

Using equation (ii) of distance and the given values for y-coordinateafter 1.00s we get the y-coordinate as follows:

yf=0+01.00s+0.5-9.8m/s21.00s2=-4.9m

Hence, the y-coordinate of projectile is -4.9m .
