| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( \Delta t = 3.00 \, \text{s} \) | The total time of flight is given. |
| 2 | \( v_x = 25 \, \text{m/s} \) | The horizontal component of velocity is given. |
| 3 | \( R = v_x \cdot \Delta t \) | The horizontal range is calculated using the formula for distance: velocity times time. |
| 4 | \( R = 25 \, \text{m/s} \times 3.00 \, \text{s} \) | Substitute the given values into the formula. |
| 5 | \( R = 75 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the horizontal range. |
Therefore, the horizontal range is \( \boxed{75 \, \text{m}} \).
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( \Delta t_{\text{up}} = \Delta t / 2 \) | The time to reach the maximum height is half the total time of flight (since the flight time to and from the maximum height is symmetrical). |
| 2 | \( \Delta t_{\text{up}} = \frac{3.00 \, \text{s}}{2} = 1.50 \, \text{s} \) | Calculate the time to reach the maximum height. |
| 3 | \( v_y = g \cdot \Delta t_{\text{up}} \) | The initial vertical component of velocity is given by the product of acceleration due to gravity and the time to reach the maximum height. |
| 4 | \( v_y = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 1.50 \, \text{s} \) | Substitute the values for acceleration due to gravity and time to maximum height. |
| 5 | \( v_y = 14.7 \, \text{m/s} \) | Calculate the initial vertical component of velocity. |
Therefore, the initial vertical component of velocity is \( \boxed{14.7 \, \text{m/s}} \).
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( \tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x} \) | The tangent of the angle of projection is given by the ratio of the initial vertical component of velocity to the horizontal component of velocity. |
| 2 | \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{v_y}{v_x}\right) \) | Solve for the angle of projection by taking the inverse tangent. |
| 3 | \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{14.7 \, \text{m/s}}{25 \, \text{m/s}}\right) \) | Substitute the calculated initial vertical component of velocity and the given horizontal component of velocity. |
| 4 | \( \theta \approx 30^\circ \) | Calculate the initial angle of projection. |
Therefore, the initial angle of projection is \( \boxed{30^\circ} \).
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
