The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is 81.1m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the United States in 1981. Assuming the initial launch angle was 45 degree and neglecting air resistance, determine (a) the initial speed of the projectile and (b) the total time interval the projectile was in flight. (c) How would the answers change if the range were the same but the launch angle were greater than 45 degree ? Explain.



Answer :

(a)The initial speed of the projectile  28.19 m/s

(b)The total time interval the projectile was in flight 4.068 s

(c)Range reduces and flying time rises as the angle increases.

What is a time interval?

A larger span of time can be broken up into several shorter, equal-length segments. These are referred to as time periods. Consider the scenario if you wished to gauge a car's speed throughout an hour-long trip. You may break up an hour into ten-minute halves.

Briefing:

(a)The equation: gives the projectile's range.

[tex]$d=\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}$[/tex]

where

u is the initial speed

0 is the angle of projection

g = 9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration of gravity

In relation to the projectile in this issue, we are aware of:

d = 81.1 m (range)

θ = 45⁰

Therefore, by changing the equation, we can get the beginning speed:

[tex]$u=\sqrt{\frac{d g}{\sin 2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(81.1)(9.8)}{\sin (2-45)}}=28.19 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$[/tex]

(b)

The projectile's initial vertical velocity is

[tex]$u_y=u \sin \theta$[/tex]

and since we are aware that the vertical velocity zeroes out at the trajectory's highest point, we have

[tex]$v_y=u_y-g t=0$[/tex]

This indicates that the amount of time required to reach the highest point is

[tex]$t=\frac{u_y}{g}$[/tex]

Actually, the flight takes twice as long as this, thus

[tex]$t=\frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g}$[/tex]

And by substituting

u = 28.19 m/s

θ = 45⁰

g = 9.8 m/s²

we find:

[tex]$t=\frac{2(28.19) \sin 45^{\circ}}{9.8}=4.068 \mathrm{~s}$[/tex]

(c)

Range reduces and flying time rises as the angle increases.

In order to respond, let's examine the two formulas:

[tex]$d=\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}$[/tex]

[tex]$t=\frac{2 u s i n \theta}{g}$[/tex]
