Question

A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of 53.0° with the vertical, releases a projectile at an altitude of 730 m. The projectile hits the ground 5.00 s after 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?

Step 1

Given that the vertical component of the velocity is 121.5 m/s, and the horizontal component of the velocity is 162 m/s, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the total speed of the plane: Total speed, \(v = \sqrt{(121.5)^2 + (162)^2}\) Total speed, \(v = Show more…
