21sin(51) 21cos(51)

zarkam21:

for a and b

Vocaloid:

good (remember that cos is the horizontal velocity so that must be a)

Vocaloid:

(you need to switch them)

zarkam21:

a. What is the horizontal component of the velocity? (2 points) 21cos(51)=13.22 b. What is the vertical component of the velocity? (2 points) 21sin(51)=16.32

Vocaloid:

good for c) use kinematics equation 1 to find the time

Vocaloid:

* I would recommend writing this down somewhere: at the peak of a parabolic projection the velocity in the y-direction is 0

zarkam21:

okay will do

Vocaloid:

with that in mind, try solving for time

Vocaloid:

vf = vi + at, plug everything except t in and solve for time

zarkam21:

Sorry a little busy,

zarkam21:

okay let me plug in the numbers

zarkam21:

vf = vi + at 0=16.32+(9.8)t

zarkam21:

16.32=0+(9.8)t

Vocaloid:

you had it right the first time 0=16.32+(9.8)t since the final state is at the top of the parabola, vf is 0 and vi is the initial velocity given in the problem

zarkam21:

-1.67

Vocaloid:

yeah good (if we change 9.8 to -9.8 we should get the positive time value, 1.67 seconds)

Vocaloid:

for d) use deltax = v_0 * t + (1/2)at^2 to find height

zarkam21:

so it would be positive ?

Vocaloid:

yeah (time can't be negative)

zarkam21:

oh yeah lol

zarkam21:

okay so d

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid for d) use deltax = v_0 * t + (1/2)at^2 to find height \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

zarkam21:

okay so deltax=0*t+ (1/2)at^2

zarkam21:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

the initial velocity is not 0 (it's equal to the initial vertical component of velocity) you must also substitute the time value for c) and -g for acceleration

zarkam21:

16.32*1.67+(1/2)(-9.8)t^2

Vocaloid:

you also need to substitute for the other t

zarkam21:

16.32*1.67+(1/2)(-9.8)1.67^2

zarkam21:

13.59

Vocaloid:

good for e) the total time is just double the time it took to reach the top so double the answer from c)

zarkam21:

1.67*2=3.34 seconds

Vocaloid:

good for f) the velocity in the x-direction is constant so multiply the x-direction velocity * total time to get distance

zarkam21:

13.22*3.34=44.15 m/s

Vocaloid:

the units of distance are not m/s if you are confused about units there are two ways to clear it up: 1. the units must cancel out m/s * s --> the s cancels out so it is m 2. thinking about what the physical quantity we are looking for is distance is m

zarkam21:

okay so distance is m velocity is m/s and time is s

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

what is m/s/s again?

Vocaloid:

acceleration

zarkam21:

so for height it would be?

Vocaloid:

m

zarkam21:

OKay thanks !!
