Answer:

(a) 1.11sec

(b) 14.37m/s

(c) 31.78m

Explanation:

U = 18m/s, A = 37°, g = 9.8m/s^2

(a) t = UsinA/g = 18sin37°/9.8 = 18×0.6018/9.8 = 1.11sec

(b) Ux = UcosA = 18cos37° = 18×0.7986 = 14.37m/s

(c) R = U^2sin2A/g = 18^2sin2(37°)/9.8 = 324sin74°/9.8 = 324×0.9613/9.8 = 31.78m

Answer:

a 5.995m

b 14.54m/s

C 31.84m

Explanation:

H= u^2 sin^2x/2g

H= 18.2^2 sin^2×37/2×10

H= 331.24× 0.362/20

H= 5.995m

Horizontal component of the Vat

Ux= ucos x ; x is the angle

Ux= 18.2 cos 37

Ux= 14.54m/s

Range = u^2 sin2x/g

18.2^2 sin 74/10

Range = 318.40/10

Range = 31.84m
