A javelin thrower standing at rest holds the center of the javelin behind her head, then accelerates it through a distance of 70 cm as she throws. She releases the javelin 2.0 m above the ground traveling at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal. Top-rated javelin throwers do throw at about a 30 ∘ angle, not the 45 ∘ you might have expected, because the biomechanics of the arm allow them to throw the javelin much faster at 30 ∘ than they would be able to at 45 ∘ . In this throw, the javelin hits the ground 75 m away.What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a = 580 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Distance for accelerated throw s_a = 70 cm

- Angle of throw Q = 30 degrees

- Distance traveled by the javelin in horizontal direction x(f) = 75 m

- Initial height of throw y(0) = 0

- Final height of the javelin y(f) = -2 m

Find:

What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration.

Solution:

- Compute initial components of the velocity:

                                             V_x,i = V*cos(30)

                                             V_y,i = V*sin(30)

- Use second equation of motion in horizontal direction:

                                          x(f) = x(0) + V*cos(30)*t

                                            75 = 0 + V*cos(30)*t

                                              t = 75 /V*cos(30)

- Use equation of motion in vertical direction:

                                     y(f) = y(0) + V_y,i*t + 0.5*g*t^2

Subs the values:

                      -2 = 0 + V*sin(30)*75/V*cos(30) - 4.905*(75/Vcos(30))^2

                           -2 = 75*tan(30) - 4.905*(5625/V^2*cos^2(30))

                           V^2 = 4.905*5625 / (2 + 75*tan(30))*cos^2(30)

                                                V^2 = 812.0633

                                                 V = 28.5 m/s

- Use the third equation of motion in the interval of the throw:

                                            V^2 = U^2 + 2*a*s_a

                                               28.5^2 = 2*a*0.7

                                                a = 580 m/s^2

         

     

The path of a projectile follows a parabolic trajectory;

The acceleration of the javelin during the throw is approximately 580.06 m/s²

The reason the value for the acceleration of the javelin is correct is as follows:

The known parameters;

The distance over which the javelin is accelerated = 70 cm = 0.7 m

Height of the javelin above the ground when it was released, y₀ = 2.0 m

Angle above the horizontal above which the javelin is thrown, θ = 30°

Distance away the javelin hits the ground, the range, R = 75 m

The required parameter;

The acceleration of the javelin during the throw

Solution:

The formula that gives the velocity with which the javelin was thrown, u, based on the range of a projectile, x, or R and the height when the javelin is thrown is the parabolic form of the projectile equation,  presented here as follows;

[tex]y = \mathbf{y_0 + tan(\theta) \cdot x - \dfrac{g}{2 \cdot u^2 \cdot cos^2\theta} \cdot x^2}[/tex]

When x = R, then y = 0, we get;

[tex]0 = 2 + tan(30^{\circ}) \times 75 - \dfrac{9.81}{2 \cdot u^2 \cdot cos^230^{\circ}} \times 75^2[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]0 = 2 + \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3} } \times 75 - \dfrac{9.81}{2 \cdot u^2 \cdot \dfrac{3}{4} } \times 75^2[/tex]

[tex]2 + \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3} } \times 75 = \dfrac{9.81}{2 \cdot u^2 \cdot \dfrac{3}{4} } \times 75^2[/tex]

[tex]u = \sqrt{ \dfrac{9.81}{2 \cdot\left(2 + \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3} } \times 75\right) \cdot \dfrac{3}{4} } \times 75^2} \approx 28.497[/tex]

The velocity with which the javelin leaves the hand of the javelin thrower, u ≈ 28.497 m/s

The kinematic equation of motion for finding the acceleration is as follows;

u² = u₀² + 2·a·s

Where;

u = Velocity with which the javelin was thrown ≈ 28.497 m/s

u₀ = The speed of the javelin at the start = 0

s = Distance the javelin was accelerated before reaching release = 0.7 m

a = The acceleration of the javelin during the throw

Which gives;

u² = 0² + 2·a·s = 2·a·s

a = u²/(2·s)

a ≈ (28.497²)/(2 × 0.7)  = 580.06

The acceleration of the javelin during the throw, a ≈ 580.06 m/s²
