Find the range of a ball which was when projected with initial velocity 29.4m/s29.4 \, \text{m/s} it just passes over a 4.9m4.9 \, \text{m} high pole.

Solution:

u=29.4msinitial speed of the ball;u = 29.4 \, \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} - \text{initial speed of the ball};h=4.9mmaximum height that ball richesh = 4.9 \, \text{m} - \text{maximum height that ball riches}Lrange of a ball;L - \text{range of a ball};


Equation of the motion for body, thrown at angle α\alpha: (L - maximum horizontal range of this body) (t - time of the flight)


ux=ucosα;uy=usinα;u_x = u \cos \alpha; \quad u_y = u \sin \alpha;x:L=utcosαx: L = ut \cos \alphay:0=utsinαgt22y: 0 = ut \sin \alpha - \frac{gt^2}{2}usinα=gt2u \sin \alpha = \frac{gt}{2}t=2usinαgt = \frac{2u \sin \alpha}{g}


(2) in (1):


L=u2usinαgcosα=2u2sinαcosαgL = u \frac{2u \sin \alpha}{g} \cos \alpha = \frac{2u^2 \sin \alpha \cos \alpha}{g}


Maximum height: the time taken to reach the maximum height is equal to half of the time of flight:


t1=t2=usinαgt _ {1} = \frac {t}{2} = \frac {u \sin \alpha}{g}


y: (half of the flight): h1=ut1sinαgt122h_1 = ut_1 \sin \alpha - \frac{gt_1^2}{2}

h=ut1sinαgt122h = u t _ {1} \sin \alpha - \frac {g t _ {1} ^ {2}}{2}h=uVsinαgsinαg(usinαg)22=u2sin2α2gh = u \frac {V \sin \alpha}{g} \sin \alpha - \frac {g \left(\frac {u \sin \alpha}{g}\right) ^ {2}}{2} = \frac {u ^ {2} \sin^ {2} \alpha}{2 g}


from (4)


sin2α=2ghu2sinα=2ghu2\sin^ {2} \alpha = \frac {2 g h}{u ^ {2}} \quad \sin \alpha = \sqrt {\frac {2 g h}{u ^ {2}}}


Pythagorean Identity


sin2α+cos2α=1\sin^ {2} \alpha + \cos^ {2} \alpha = 1cos2α=1sin2α\cos^ {2} \alpha = 1 - \sin^ {2} \alpha


(5)in(6):


cos2α=12ghu2cosα=12ghu2\cos^ {2} \alpha = 1 - \frac {2 g h}{u ^ {2}} \quad \cos \alpha = \sqrt {1 - \frac {2 g h}{u ^ {2}}}


(5)and(7)in(3):


L=2u2sinαcosαg=2u2(2ghu2)(12ghu2)g=2(2gh)(u22gh)g=2(29.8ms24.9m)((29.4ms)229.8ms24.9m)9.8ms2=55mL = \frac {2 u ^ {2} \sin \alpha \cos \alpha}{g} = \frac {2 u ^ {2} \sqrt {\left(\frac {2 g h}{u ^ {2}}\right) \left(1 - \frac {2 g h}{u ^ {2}}\right)}}{g} = \frac {2 \sqrt {(2 g h) (u ^ {2} - 2 g h)}}{g} = \frac {2 \sqrt {\left(2 \cdot 9 . 8 \frac {m}{s ^ {2}} \cdot 4 . 9 m\right) \left(\left(2 9 . 4 \frac {m}{s}\right) ^ {2} - 2 \cdot 9 . 8 \frac {m}{s ^ {2}} \cdot 4 . 9 m\right)}}{9 . 8 \frac {m}{s ^ {2}}} = 5 5 m


Answer: the horizontal range of object will be 55m55\mathrm{m}
