Projectile Motion Launched at an Angle — Homework
Resolve the initial velocity into components before doing anything else.
- 1.A ball is launched at 50 m/s at 37 degrees above horizontal. Find v0x, v0y, the total time of flight, and the range.
- 2.A ball is launched at 10 m/s at 53 degrees above horizontal. Find the maximum height and the range.
- 3.Explain why a ball launched at 37 degrees and one launched at 53 degrees, both at the same speed, land the same distance away.
- 4.At what single angle is the range greatest for a fixed launch speed, and why?
- 5.Describe a real angled-launch situation (a basketball shot, a thrown football, a fountain) and explain, in terms of this week's ideas, why the launch angle matters as much as the launch speed.
