S ship maneuvers to within 2.50x10^3 m of an islands 1.80x10^3 m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship 6.10x10^2 m on the other side of the peak. if the ship shoots projectile with an initial velocity of 2.50x10^2m/s at an angle of 75 degrees, how close vertically does the projectile come to the peak

Respuesta :

velocity of the projectile is given as

[tex]v = 2.50 \times 10^3 m/s[/tex]

now the angle is given as 75 degree

so here we will have

[tex]v_x = 2.50 \times 10^3 cos75 = 0.65 \times 10^3 m/s[/tex]

[tex]v_y = 2.50 \times 10^3 sin75 = 2.4 \times 10^3 m/s[/tex]

now the time taken to reach the peak is given as

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v_x}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{2.50 \times 10^3}{0.65 \times 10^3} = 3.86 s[/tex]

now the height moved by the projectile in same time is given as

[tex]y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

now we have

[tex]y = (2.4 \times 10^3)(3.86) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(3.86)^2[/tex]

[tex]y = 9.2 \times 10^3 m[/tex]

so distance between the peak and projectile is given as

[tex]d = 9.2 \times 10^3 - 1.80 \times 10^3 = 7.4 \times 10^3 m[/tex]

The projectile traveled past the height of the enemy's ship.

The given parameters;

  • height of the mountain, h = 1.8 x 10³
  • position of the other ship ,y = 6.1 x 10² m
  • initial velocity of the projectile, v = 2.5 x 10² m/s
  • angle of the projection, θ = 75⁰

The maximum height traveled by the projectile is calculated as follows;

[tex]H = \frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{(250)^2 \times (sin \ 75)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = 2,975.63 \ m[/tex]

Total vertical height traveled by the projectile is 2,975.63 m.

The position of the enemy's ship on the other side of the peak = 610 m

Thus, we can conclude that the projectile traveled past the height of the enemy's ship.
