A projectile, fired with unknown initial velocity, lands 20sec later on side of hill, 3000m away horizontally and 450m vertically above its starting point. a) what is the vertical component of its initial velocity? b) what is the horizontal component of velocity?​

Explanation:

Given:

t = 20 seconds

x = 3000 m

y = 450 m

a) To find the vertical component of the initial velocity , we can use the equation

Solving for ,

b) We can solve for the horizontal component of the velocity as

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
