| A crow flies to a point that is 5 miles away, and at 75 degrees above the +X axis. How far North of the start point is the crow? | Want Y coordinate, so use X=5miles*sin75=4.8miles | ||||||||||||
| Two forces act on an object. Force "A" is 17 units, and directed at 40 degrees below the +X axis. Force "B" is 22 units and directed at 10 degrees above the +X axis. Find the resultant vector's length and direction. | First, break both vectors into their X and Y components. (remember
that A's Y component is negative)

| Given this formula; Range=(Vo2/g)sin2qexplain why the maximum range of a projectile occurs at 45 degrees. Assume Vo and g are constants. | the sin of 2q is 1 at 45 degrees. Any other angle gives a value between zero and one. | ||||||||||||
| A bomb is dropped from a plane 200m up. It lands 1500m away from a spot directly under the drop site. What is the plane's speed? | first find time to hit ground from h=200m...

Fill in the table for a projectile launched at 200m/s at an angle of
65 degrees above horizon.

To solve this, we need Vx and Vy...
Vx = 200cos65 = 84.5m/s Vy = 200sin65 = 181.3m/s The Ycoordinate is given by Y=Yo + (Vy)t - at2/2 (a is gravity = 9.8m/s/s) Yat2sec=0+(181.3*2)-9.8*22/2=343m Yat8sec=1137m Yat10sec=1323m The Xcoordiante is given by (Vx)t Xat2sec=84.5*2=169m Xat8sec=676m Xat10sec=845m |
