Ashot-putter throws the shot ( mass = 7.3 kg) with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s at a 35.0° angle to the horizontal. calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the shot if it leaves the athlete's hand at a height of 2.20 m above the ground.

The horizontal distance traveled by the shot is 21.4 m

Explanation:

The position of the shot is given by the position vector r

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = throwing angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the situation. Notice that when the shot hits the ground, the y-component of the position vector of the shot is -2.20 m (origin of the frame of reference located at the throwing point). Using this data, we can obtain the time at which the shot hits the ground and calculate the x-component of "r final", which is the horizontal distance traveled by the shot. Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-2.20 m = 0m + 14.0 m/s · t · sin 35° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 14.0 m/s · t · sin 35° + 2.20 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.87 s

Now, with this time, we can calculate the x-component of "r final"

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 14.0 m/s · 1.87 s · cos35°

x = 21.4 m

The horizontal distance traveled by the shot is 21.4 m

if you answer my question i will answer yours

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
