A spring-loaded gun, fired vertically, shoots a marble 9.0 m straight up in the air. What is the marble's range if it is fired horizontally from 1.8 m above the ground?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]d = 13.3 \times 0.61 = 8.06 m[/tex]

Explanation:

If a marble is shot straight up in the air then the maximum height above the ground is given as 9 m

so here we will have

[tex]mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(9)} = 13.3 m/s[/tex]

now the same marble is shot horizontally so the speed will be same

now the height from which it is shot is given as 1.8 m

so time taken by it to reach the ground is given as

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

[tex]1.8 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8) t^2[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.61 s[/tex]

now the distance moved by the marble is given as

distance = speed x time

[tex]d = 13.3 \times 0.61 = 8.06 m[/tex]

The range of the marble if it is fired horizontally is 8.10 meters.

Given the following data:

  • Vertical distance = 9.0 meters.
  • Horizontal distance = 1.8 meter.

To calculate the range of the marble if it is fired horizontally:

How to calculate the vertical speed.

We would determine the vertical speed of the marble fired vertically by the spring-loaded gun through this formula:

[tex]V=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\V=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 9.0}\\\\V=\sqrt{176.4}[/tex]

V = 13.28 m/s.

Next, we would calculate the time taken to reach the maximum height:

[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1.8}{9.8} }\\\\t=\sqrt{0.3674}[/tex]

Time, t = 0.61 seconds.

For the marble's range:

[tex]Range = 13.28 \times 0.61[/tex]

Range = 8.10 meters.
