A projectile is fired with a speed of 20m/s at an angle of 30* from the horizontal. What is the time of height of the projectile?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees,

the vertical component is exactly half the magnitude of the initial velocity.

Thus, the vertical component is 10 m/s.

Since it takes 1 second for gravity to steal about 10 m/s from the upward velocity,

the projectile will reach its highest point after traveling for one second

at an average speed of 5 m/s

(i.e., assuming an upward velocity that drops linearly from 10 m/s to zero).

Thus, the maximum height is 5 m.
