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

Figure 4-30gives the path of a squirrel moving about on level ground, from point A (at timet=0), to points B (at t=5.00min), C (at t=10.0min), and finally D (at t=15.0min). Consider the average velocities of the squirrel from point A to each of the other three points. Of them, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of the one with the least magnitude and the (c) magnitude and (d) angle of the one with the greatest magnitude?

(b) At what speed must the train go around a curve with a1.00kmradius to be at the acceleration limit?

A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.50s. Then security agents appear, and the man runs as fast as he can back along the sidewalk to his starting point, taking 10.0s. What is the ratio of the man’s running speed to the sidewalk’s speed?
