Aprojectile is fired from the ground (you can assume the initial height is the same as the ground) in a field so there are no obstacles in its way. it is fired at an angle 33° with respect to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 49 m/s. air resistance is negligible in this situation.

a) what is the horizontal distance that the projectile has traveled when it is at its maximum height?

b) the same projectile was then fired in the same way toward a wall that is a horizontal distance 55.8 m from where the projectile was fired.
what was the height of the projectile when it hit the wall?

c) find the velocity of the projectile when it hit the wall.
you will enter your answer using the unit vector notation where the value in front of the i is the x component and the value in front of the j is the y component.
call up the positive y direction, and toward the wall the positive x direction.

d) what was the speed of the projectile when it hit the wall?

A) 112 m. B) 27.2 m C) 41.1 m/s i + 13.4 m/s j  D) 43.2 m/s

Explanation:

A) Once fired, no external forces act on the projectile in the x-direction, so it keeps moving to the right at constant speed, which is the projection on the x-axis of  the initial velocity vector:

v₀ₓ = v₀* cos 33º = 49 m/s* cos 33º = 41.1 m/s

In the y-direction, the component of the velocity can be found as the projection of v₀ on the y-axis, as follows:

v₀y = v₀* sin 33º = 49 m/s* sin 33º = 26.7 m/s

Both velocities are independent each other, as no one has a projection on the other.

In the vertical direction, the  projectile is in free fall all time, under the influence of gravity , which accelerates it downward.

So, at any time, in the vertical direction, the velocity can be calculated as follows:

vfy = v₀y -g*t (same equation as for an object thrown upwards)

When the object is at its maximum height, the velocity, in the vertical direction, will be momentarily zero, so we can find the time when this happens as follows:

vfy= 0 ⇒ v₀y = g*t ⇒ t = v₀y / g = 26.7 m/s / 9.8 m/s² = 2.72 s

As the time is the same for both movements, we can replace this value in the expression for the displacement x at constant speed, as follows:

x = v₀ₓ* t = 41.1 m/s* 2.72 s = 112 m

B) Like above, as the time is the same for both movements, we can find the time for the instant that the projectile hit the wall, as follows:

x = v₀ₓ* t ⇒ 55. 8 m = 41.1 m/s * t

⇒ t = 55. 8 m / 41.1 m/s = 1.36 s

We can replace this value of t in the equation for the vertical displacement, as follows:

Δy = v₀y*t -1/2*g*t² = (26.7m/s*1.36s) - 1/2*9.8m/s²*(1.36s)² = 27.2 m

C) The velocity of the projectile, at any time, has two components, one horizontal and one vertical.

As explained above, x-component is constant, equal to v₀x:

vx = v₀x i = 41.1 m/s i

For vy, we can apply acceleration definition, using the value of v₀y and t that we have just found:

vfy = voy - g*t = 26.7 m/s - 9.8m/s*1.36 sec = 13.4 m/s

vfy = 13.4 m/s j

v = 41.1 m/s i + 13.4 m/s j

D) Finally, in order to get the speed of the projectile when it hit the wall, we need just to find the magnitude of the velocity, as we get the magnitude of any vector given its vertical and horizontal components:

v = √(41.1 m/s)² +(13.4 m/s)² =43.2 m/s

what are the options.
