(a) 18.93 m

First of all, we need to find the time it takes for the shot to reach the ground. This can be found by analyzing the vertical motion only, using the equation:

$y(t) = h + u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

y(t) is the vertical position at time t

h = 1.80 m is the initial heigth

$u_y = (13.0) sin 41.0^{\circ}=8.53 m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting y(t)=0, we solve the equation for t, to find the time at which the shot reaches the ground:

0=1.8 + 8.53t -4.9t^2

which gives two solutions: t = -0.19 s and t = 1.93 s. We discard the former solution since it's negative, so the correct time is

t = 1.93 s

Now, the horizontal distance travelled by the shot is given by

x(t) = u_x t

where

$u_x = (13.0) cos 41.0^{\circ}=9.81 m/s$ is the horizontal velocity

t is the time

Substituting t = 1.93 s, we find the range of the shot:

x=(9.81)(1.93)=18.93 m

(b) 18.96 m

We can solve the problem exactly in the same, replacing the previous angle with $42.5^{\circ}$ :

- The initial vertical velocity is

$u_y = (13.0) sin 42.5^{\circ}=8.78 m/s$

So the equation to find the time is

0=1.8 + 8.78t -4.9t^2

which gives t = 1.98 s as solution. The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = (13.0) cos 42.5^{\circ}=9.58 m/s$

And so the range of the shot is

x=u_x t = (9.58)(1.98)=18.97 m

Again, we solve using the new angle $45^{\circ}$ :

- The initial vertical velocity is

$u_y = (13.0) sin 45^{\circ}=9.19 m/s$

So the equation to find the time is

0=1.8 + 9.19t -4.9t^2

which gives t = 2.05 s as solution. The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = (13.0) cos 45^{\circ}=9.19 m/s$

And so the range of the shot is

x=u_x t = (9.19)(2.05)=18.84 m

(d) 18.70 m

Solving using the new angle $47.5^{\circ}$ ,

- The initial vertical velocity is

$u_y = (13.0) sin 47.5^{\circ}=9.58 m/s$

So the equation to find the time is

0=1.8 + 9.58t -4.9t^2

which gives t = 2.13 s as solution. The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = (13.0) cos 47.5^{\circ}=8.78 m/s$

And so the range of the shot is

x=u_x t = (8.78)(2.13)=18.70 m

(e) At $42.5^{\circ}$

We see from the previous parts that the angle that gives the maximum range is $42.5^{\circ}$ . Therefore we can infer an important thing: while for a projectile launched from the ground (h=0) the maximum range is achieved when the angle of launch is $45^{\circ}$ , this is not true for a projectile launched from a height h.

Indeed, it can be demonstrated that for a projectile launched from height h, the angle at which the maximum range is achevied is given by

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{u}{\sqrt{u^2+2gh}})$

And indeed, by substituting u = 13.0 m/s and h = 1.80 m into the formula, we find

$\theta_{max} =42.3^{\circ}$

Which is in agreement with our findings.

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ
