Two seconds after being projected from ground level, a projectile is displaced40mhorizontally and 53mvertically above its launch point. What are the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the initial velocity of the projectile? (c)At the instant the projectile achieves its maximum height above ground level, how far is it displaced horizontally from the launch point?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a). Horizontal and vertical components of initial velocity are20m/s

(b). vertical components of initial velocity are 36.3m/s

(c). The horizontal distance of projectile when it reaches the maximum height is 74m

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that, the time is 2s after projection. Projectile attends 4m and 54mhorizontal and vertical distance respectively.

02

Determining the concept

The ball travels some vertical and horizontal distance after 2sof projection. At the time of projection, the ball is projected with some angle, so resolving that initial velocity with the given angle along X and Y axis, then the terms in form of

θ can be obtained. For horizontal distance, use the 2nd kinematic equation as horizontal journey has zero acceleration. So, the horizontal component of initial velocity can be found, and by using the same equation, the vertical component of initial velocity can also be obtained.

With the help of 1stand 2ndkinematic equation, find the horizontal distance at the maximum height.

Formula:

vf=vo+ats=vot+12at2 (i)

(a) determining the horizontal and vertical components of initial velocity

Let’s take the origin as the point directly below to the impact point. To find the height of the ball at a given horizontal distance, its initial velocity and time to reach that given horizontal distance need to find.

Using equation (ii) the horizontal distance is given by,

x=vot+12at240=vocosθ×2=0vo³¦´Ç²õθ=20m/s

Using equation (ii) the vertical distance is given by,

role="math" localid="1654159530981" y=vot+12at253=vo²õ¾±²Ôθ×2-12×9.8×4vo²õ¾±²Ôθ=36.3m/s

But, the time for horizontal distance and no acceleration in horizontal direction are needed.

So,

x=vo³¦´Ç²õθ×tt=xvo³¦´Ç²õθt=4.258s

04

(b) Determining the horizontal distance of projectile when it reaches the maximum height

Now, vertical component of initial velocity had been obtained, and the velocity of projectile is zero at maximum height. So, find the time to reach the maximum height by using 1stkinematic equation,

vf=vo+ato=36.3-9.8tt=3.70s

By using this time, find the position of projectile at horizontal distance.

By using 2ndkinematic equation,

s=vot+12at2s=20×3.70

Thus, s=74m
