A projectile is fired at an angle such that the vertical component of its velocity
and the horizontal component of its velocity are BOTH equal to 30 m/s.
a. Using the approximate value of g = +/-10 m/s2, how long in time does it take for the
ball to reach its high point?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It takes 3 seconds to reach its high point

Explanation:

Projectile Motion

In a projectile motion (or 2D motion), the object is launched with an initial angle θ and an initial velocity vo.

The components of the velocity are

[tex]v_{ox}=v_o\cos\theta[/tex]

[tex]v_{oy}=v_o\sin\theta[/tex]

The speed in the horizontal direction at any time t is:

[tex]v_y=v_o\sin\theta-g.t[/tex]

The time taken to reach the maximum height is when vy=0, or:

[tex]\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_o\sin\theta}{g}[/tex]

We are given the y-component of the velocity, thus:

[tex]\displaystyle t_m=\frac{30~m/s}{10~m/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]t_m=3~s[/tex]

It takes 3 seconds to reach its high point
