Question
Explanation / Answer
Using the equation of motion:
v = u + at
here ,
u = ux i + uy j
v = ux i + 0 j
a = -9.8 j
(ux i ) = (ux i + uy j) + (-9.8 j)*t
So, comparing the cy-components :
0 = uy - 9.8*t
So, uy = 9.8*t
Now, using the equation of motion :
s = ut + 0.5*at^2
here , s = 3.71 i + 1.49 j
So, ( 3.71 i + 1.49 j) = (ux i + uy j)*(t) + 0.5*(-9.8 j)*t^2
So, 3.71 = ux*t ----------- (1)
and 1.49 = uy*t - 4.9*t^2
Now, uy = 9.8*t
So, 1.49 = 9.8*t^2 - 4.9*t^2
So, t = 0.551 s <----------- answer (time taken (b))
So, ux = 3.71/0.551 = 6.73 m/s <---------- answer(c)
uy = 9.8*t = 9.8*0.551 = 5.4 m/s <------- answer(a)
angle = atan(uy/ux) = atan(5.4/6.73) = 38.7 deg with respect to horizontal <------ answer (d)
