Question

A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 550 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Use that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sec^2.
The range I think is 564.12 ms

Answer 1

Hint: How do you break down the components of velocity?

Answer 2

550cos30 = 549.9770
and
550sin30 =5.0561

Answer 3

Good ol' kinematics

Answer 4

yep I know ...

Answer 5

but this is for calculus 3 -_-
so I can't use kinematics

Answer 6

What are we looking for here?

Answer 7

Ah lol

Answer 8

range

Answer 9

I got a range of 564.12m

Answer 10

\[ \sin \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{||v_y||}{550} \\
= 550 \sin \frac{\pi}{6} = ||v_y|| \\
= 275 \\
\cos \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{||v_x||}{550} \\
= 550 \cos \frac{\pi}{6} = ||v_x||
= 476.313\]

Answer 11

oh

Answer 12

You're doing this in Calculus 3? Isn't this physics?

Answer 13

yea it is calculus 3 LOL -_-

Answer 14

I thought it was for physics as well, now he has me worried for calc 3 :x

Answer 15

LOL

Answer 16

my first exam in cal 3 was 72.5 =( cry

Answer 17

range came out to be 26731m
