91Ó°ÊÓ

A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of53.0°with the vertical, releases a projectile at an altitude of730m. The projectile hits the ground5.00safter release. (a)What is the speed of the plane? (b)How far does the projectile travel horizontally during its flight? What are the (c)horizontal and (d)vertical components of its velocity just before striking the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Speed of the plane is202m/s

(b) Horizontal distance travelled by the projectile is806m

(c) Horizontal component of the projectile just before striking ground is161m/s

(d) Vertical component of the projectile just before striking ground is-171m/s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

θ=53.0°

time required to reach ground=5.00s

altitude of the plane=730m

02

Determining the concept of projectile

As the projectile is released from the plane, so projectile will have the same velocity as that of the plane.

Using the kinematic equations and the given datathe initial velocity of the projectile can be computed. Once, the initial velocity of the projectile is found.the required answers can be found.

Formulae:

The vertical distance in kinematic equation can be written as,

dy=v0t+12×at2 (i)

Final velocity is

vf2=v02+2aby

(ii)

vf=v0+at

(iii)

v=dt

(iv)

03

(a) Determining the speed of the plane

Assuming downward as positive, Equation (i) can be written as,

730=v0×cos53+12×9.8×52730=3v0+122.53v0=730-122.53v0=607.5v0=607.53v0=202m/s

04

(b) Determining the horizontal distance travelled by the projectile

The velocity in x direction is given by,

v0x=202×sin53v0x=161.321m/s

Using equation (iv), the distance in x direction is

dx=v0x×t=161.32×5dx=806m

05

(c) Determining the horizontal component of the projectile

As there is no acceleration in the y direction, the x component for the projectile and plane will be same,

v0x=202×sin53v0x=161.32=161m/s

06

(d) Determining the vertical component of the projectile

Now, with equation (iii) the final velocity in y direction is given by,

vy=v0y+at=-202×cos53-9.8×5=-121.57-49

Thus,

vy=-170.57≈-171m/s

Upon spotting an insect on a twig overhanging water, an archer fish squirts water drops at the insect to knock it into the water (Figure). Although the fish sees the insect along a straight-line path at angle ϕand distance d , a drop must be launched at a different angle θ0if its parabolic path is to intersect the insect. Ifϕ=36°and d=0.900m , what launch angle θ0 is required for the drop to be at the top of the parabolic path when it reaches the insect?
