Step 1
The initial velocity components are: $V_{0x} = V_0 \cos(\alpha_0)$ $V_{0y} = V_0 \sin(\alpha_0)$ The position equations are: $x(t) = V_{0x} t$ $y(t) = V_{0y} t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ Given: $V_0 = 80$ ft/s $\alpha_0 = 30^\circ$ We need to use the acceleration due to Show more…

The horizontal distance that a projectile will travel in the air (ignoring air resistance) is given by the equation $$R(\theta)=\frac{v_{0}^{2} \sin (2 \theta)}{g}$$ where $v_{0}$ is the initial velocity of the projectile, $\theta$ is the angle of elevation, and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity $(9.8$ meters per second squared). (a) If you can throw a baseball with an initial speed of 34.8 meters per second, at what angle of elevation $\theta$ should you direct the throw so that the ball travels a distance of 107 meters before striking the ground? (b) Determine the maximum distance that you can throw the ball. (c) Graph $R=R(\theta),$ with $v_{0}=34.8$ meters per second. (d) Verify the results obtained in parts (a) and (b) using a graphing utility.

A small object is projected from level ground with an initial velocity of magnitude $16.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and directed at an angle of $60.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. (a) What is the horizontal displacement of the object when it is at its maximum height? How does your result compare to the horizontal range $R$ of the object? (b) What is the vertical displacement of the object when its horizontal displacement is $80.0 \%$ of its horizontal range $R ?$ How does your result compare to the maximum height $h_{\max }$ reached by the object? (c) For when the object has horizontal displacement $x-x_{0}=\alpha R,$ where $\alpha$ is a positive constant, derive an expression (in terms of $\alpha$ ) for $\left(y-y_{0}\right) / h_{\max }$. Your result should not depend on the initial velocity or the angle of projection. Show that your expression gives the correct result when $\alpha=0.80,$ as is the case in part (b). Also show that your expression gives the correct result for $\alpha=0, \alpha=0.50$, and $\alpha=1.0$
Suppose the ball is thrown from the same height as in the PRACTICE IT problem at an angle of 32.0° below the horizontal. If it strikes the ground 45.6 m away, find the following. (Hint: For part (a), use the equation for the x-displacement to eliminate v0t from the equation for the y-displacement.) (a) the time of flight What is the initial height of the ball? What is the final height? Does your expression for y(t) take this into account? s (b) the initial speed You have a correct expression for the initial speed, but your answer to part (a) is wrong, so this answer is wrong, too. m/s (c) the speed and angle of the velocity vector with respect to the horizontal at impact speed What is the initial velocity? Is either component negative? Which component changes with time? How does it change? What equations govern the changes in the components of velocity? If you know the components of the final velocity, can you find its magnitude and direction? m/s angle What is the initial velocity? Is either component negative? Which component changes with time? How does it change? What equations govern the changes in the components of velocity? If you know the components of the final velocity, can you find its magnitude and direction?° below the horizontal
