In the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at the CALC elevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range when launched at a 45o angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launched with speed v0 into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontal retarding force Fwind=-Fwindi^

a. Find an expression for the angle at which the range is maximum.
b. By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.50kg ball reduced if Fwind = 0.60 N ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The angle for maximum range is=12tan-1(mgFwind)

b) Percent decrease in range due to wind resistance is 11.49 %

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step1: Given information

Launch angle is 45o
retarding force =Fwind=-Fwindi^

mass = m

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Explanation

The flight duration in projectile motion is

T=2v0sin()g...................................(1)

The displacement s of an object moving with acceleration and initial speed u is given by

s=ut+12at2....................................(2)

The vertical component of the projectile is not affected by the horizontal retarding force of the wind.
Find the horizontal range by substituting T from equation (1) in equation 2

R=v0cos()T-12aT2R=v0cos()2v0sin()g-12a2v0sin()g2R=v02sin(2)g-2av02sin2()g

Range is maximum when

drd=0

differentiate

ddv02sin(2)g-2av02sin2()g2=02v02cos(2)g-2av02sin(2)g2=0cos(2)g=asin(2)g2tan(2)=ga(3)

retardation is a= Fwind /m, substitute this in equation (3)

tan(2)=mgFwind2=tan-1mgFwind=12tan-1mgFwind

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

Mass = m

initial speed = v0

horizontal retarding force =Fwind=-Fwindi^

Angle of projection is 45o

04

Part(b) Step2: Explanation

When there is no wind , the retardation due to resistance is zero.

The maximum range without wind is

R==v02sin(245)g=v02g

The maximum range with the wind is given as

Rw=v02sin(2)g-2av02sin2()g2Rw=v02sin(2)g-2Fwindmv02sin2()g2Rw=v02g2gsin(2)-2Fwindsin2()m=12tan-1mgFwind=12tan-10.59.810.6=41.513Rw=v02gsin(2)-2Fwindsin2()mgRw=v02gsin241.513-20.6sin241.5130.59.81Rw=v02g(0.885

Now find the percent decrease

R-RwR100%=v02g-v02g(0.885)v02g100%R-RwR100%=(1-0.885)100%R-RwR100%=11.49%

FIGURE EX8.13

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will 鈥渟tick鈥 to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says 鈥淣o children under 30 kg allowed.鈥 What is the minimum angular speed, in rpm, for which the ride is safe?

A car drives over the top of a hill that has a radius of 50 m. What maximum speed can the car have at the top without flying off the road?

A highway curve of radius 500m is designed for traffic moving at a speed of 90km/h. What is the correct banking angle of the road?

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find the motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 15m, and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes 25s.

a. What are your speed and the magnitude of your acceleration?

b. What is the ratio of your weight at the top of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?

c. What is the ratio of your weight at the bottom of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?
