Answer:
ΔR = 1.06cm
Explanation:
Given;
R₁= 8.09m
g₁ = 9.8128m/s^2
g₂ = 9.7999m/s^2
The range of a projectile is given as
R = (v²sin2θ)/g
The range at the Olympic Games at Berlin is;
R₁ = (v₀²sin2θ)/g₁
The range at Melbourne is
R₂ = (v₀²sin2θ)/g₂
Change in the range is;
ΔR = R₂ - R₁ = (v₀²sin2θ)/g₂ - (v₀²sin2θ)/g₁
ΔR = (v₀²sin2θ)(1/g₂ - 1/g₁)
ΔR = (v₀²sin2θ/g₁)(g₁/g₂ - 1)
ΔR = R₁(g₁/g₂ - 1)
Substituting the given values;
ΔR = 8.09(9.8128/9.7999 - 1)
ΔR = 0.0106m
ΔR = 1.06cm
