For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (closer to the horizontal) is preferable. When would it be necessary for the archer to use thelarger angle? Why does the punter in a football game use the higher trajectory?
An object is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 25° upward with the horizontal. (with solutions each)a) What is the maximum height reached by the object?b) What is the total flight time (between launch and touching the ground) of the object?c) What is the horizontal range (maximum x above ground) of the object?
d.) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground?
The world long jump record is 8.95 m (Mike Powell, USA, 1991).
Treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range, in meters, obtainable by a person if he or she has a take-off speed of 8.2 m/s? Assume the motion is over level ground and the initial velocity makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
