5. A projectile is fired in Earth's gravitational field with a horizontal velocity of y = 9.00 m/s.
b. How far does the projectile fall in the vertical direction in 0.550 s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.13m

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal velocity = 9.00m/s

time taken = 0.550 s

Required

How far does the projectile fall in the vertical direction

Using the formula for finding the maximum height of the projectile

H = U²sin²θ/2g where;

U = 9.00m/s

θ = 90° (object launched in the vertical direction)

g = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

H = 9²sin²90/2(9.81)

H = 81(1)/19.62

H = 81/19.62

H = 4.128 m

H ≈ 4.13m

Hence the distance that the projectile fall in the vertical direction is 4.13m
