Question
A shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level
ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0° above the horizontal. The shot hits the ground 2.08 s later. Ignore air resistance. [(c) How far did she throw the shot horizontally?] (d) Why does the expression for R in Example 3.8 not give the correct answer for part (c)? (e) How high was the shot above the ground when she released it? (f) Draw x-t, y-t, vx-t, and vy-t graphs for the motion

Find the maximum height h and horizontal range R (see Fig. 3.23) of a

IDENTIFY and SET UP This is almost the same as parts (b) and (c) of
Example 3.7, except that now we want general expressions for h and R. We
also want the values of ao that give the maximum values of h and R. In part
(b) of Example 3.7 we found that the projectile reaches the high point of
its trajectory (so that v, = 0) at time t¡ = vo/g, and in part (c) we found
that the projectile returns to its starting height (so that y = yo) at time
2 = 20y/8 = 2t1. We'll use Eq. (3.20) to find the y-coordinate h at fị and
Eq. (3.19) to find the x-coordinate R at time 12. We'll express our answers in
terms of the launch speed vo and launch angle ao by using Eqs. (3.18).

For a given launch speed u, the maximum value of h occurs for
