The horizontal projection is constant while the vertical is changing according to the equation Vy=V0y+gt (we chose the downward direction as positive). Vx = 3.1 m/s V0y = 0; V0 = 3.1 m/s V = √(Vx2 + Vy2) = √(3.12 +100t2) V2/V02 = 4 (3.12 +100t2)/ 3.12 = 4 t =√(3.12*3 / 100) = 0.54 s
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
