A projectile is launched upward at 24° from the ground and lands 12.5 s later at the same height. Assuming no air resistance...

What is the magnitude of the launch velocity?
How far from its original position did it land?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  magnitude of the launch velocity is 149.3 m/s

The distance is 74.65 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 24°

Time =12.5 sec

We need to calculate the magnitude of the launch velocity

Using equation of motion

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2+ut[/tex]

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2+u\sin\theta\times t[/tex]

Put the value in to the formula

[tex]0=-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(12.5)^2+u\sin24\times12.5[/tex]

[tex]u=\dfrac{765.625}{0.41\times12.5}[/tex]

[tex]u=149.3\ m/s[/tex]

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

[tex]x=u\cos\theta\times t[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]x=149.3\cos24\times12.5[/tex]

[tex]x=74.65\ m[/tex]

Hence, The  magnitude of the launch velocity is 149.3 m/s

The distance is 74.65 m
