An object is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 22° upward with the horizontal.What is the maximum height achieved by the projectile?

Respuesta :

Given data:

Initial velocity,

[tex]u=20\text{ m/s}[/tex]

Angle of projection,

[tex]\theta=22\degree[/tex]

The maximum height achieved by the projectile is given as,

[tex]H=\frac{u^2\sin ^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]

Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting all known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} H=\frac{(20\text{ m/s})^2\times\sin ^2(22\degree)}{2\times(9.8\text{ m/s}^2)} \\ \approx2.86\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum height achieved by the projectile is 2.86 m.
