An object is projected from the ground at an angle of 30o above the horizontal and returns to the ground 8 seconds later. What is the object’s maximum height?



Answer :

The object's maximum height during projectile motion is 78.4 m.

We need to know about the projectile motion to solve this problem. The projectile motion is known as parabolic motion and the velocity is divided by 2 axes.

vox = vo cosA

voy = vo sinA

where vox is initial velocity of x axis, voy is initial velocity of y axis, vo is initial velocity and A is the angle.

The total time taken during projectile motion is

t = 2(voy)/g

where t is total time and g is the gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²)

The maximum height also can be found using this formula

ymax = voy² / 2g

where ymax is the maximum height

From the question above, the given parameters are

A = 30⁰

t = 8 s

Find the initial velocity of y axis

t = 2(voy)/g

8 = 2 . voy / 9.8

voy = 39.2 m/s

Find the maximum object's height

ymax = voy² / 2g

ymax = 39.2² / 2 . 9.8

ymax = 78.4 m
