| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_{iy}=v_i\sin\theta\] | Resolve the initial speed into its vertical component \(v_{iy}\). |
| 2 | \[0 = v_{iy}^2 + 2(-g)\Delta y\] | At the peak the vertical velocity is zero; apply the kinematic equation with acceleration \(-g\). |
| 3 | \[\Delta y = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2g}\] | Solve algebraically for the vertical displacement \(\Delta y\), the maximum height. |
| 4 | \[v_{iy}=36.6\sin42.2^\circ = 24.6\,\text{m/s}\] | Insert the given numbers to get \(v_{iy}\). |
| 5 | \[h_{\text{max}} = \frac{(24.6\,\text{m/s})^2}{2(9.80\,\text{m/s}^2)} = 30.9\,\text{m}\] | Calculate the numerical value of the height. |
| 6 | \[\boxed{30.9\,\text{m}}\] | Maximum height reached. |
| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[t = \frac{2v_{iy}}{g}\] | Round-trip time is twice the time to reach the peak, using symmetry of the motion. |
| 2 | \[t = \frac{2(24.6\,\text{m/s})}{9.80\,\text{m/s}^2} = 5.02\,\text{s}\] | Substitute \(v_{iy}\) and \(g\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{5.02\,\text{s}}\] | Total time in the air. |
| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_x = v_i\cos\theta\] | Resolve the initial speed into its horizontal component \(v_x\). |
| 2 | \[v_x = 36.6\cos42.2^\circ = 27.1\,\text{m/s}\] | Insert the given numbers. |
| 3 | \[R = v_x t\] | The horizontal distance equals horizontal speed times total time (no horizontal acceleration). |
| 4 | \[R = 27.1\,\text{m/s}\times5.02\,\text{s} = 1.36\times10^{2}\,\text{m}\] | Compute the range. |
| 5 | \[\boxed{1.36\times10^{2}\,\text{m}}\] | Total horizontal distance. |
| Step | Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_x = 27.1\,\text{m/s}\] | Horizontal speed remains constant throughout the flight. |
| 2 | \[v_y = v_{iy} – g t\] | Use the kinematic relation for vertical velocity after time \(t\). |
| 3 | \[v_y = 24.6\,\text{m/s} – (9.80\,\text{m/s}^2)(1.50\,\text{s}) = 9.9\,\text{m/s}\] | Insert the numbers to find \(v_y\) at 1.50 s. |
| 4 | \[v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}\] | Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. |
| 5 | \[v = \sqrt{(27.1\,\text{m/s})^2 + (9.9\,\text{m/s})^2} = 28.8\,\text{m/s}\] | Compute the magnitude. |
| 6 | \[\boxed{28.8\,\text{m/s}}\] | Speed 1.50 s after launch. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A rocket-powered hockey puck has a thrust of 4.40 N and a total mass of 1.00 kg . It is released from rest on a frictionless table, 2.10 m from the edge of a 2.10 m drop. The front of the rocket is pointed directly toward the edge. Assuming that the thrust of the rocket present for the entire time of travel, how far does the puck land from the base of the table?
An eagle is flying horizontally at \(6 \, \text{m/s}\) with a fish in its claws. It accidentally drops the fish.
A rock is thrown from the top of a \( 15 \) \( \text{m} \) building at an unknown angle and speed. It hits a target on the ground \( 35 \) \( \text{m} \) away horizontally \( 3 \) \( \text{s} \) after launch. What was the rock’s launch angle?
During projectile motion (neglecting air resistance), what is the vertical acceleration at the highest point?
Water balloons are tossed from the roof of a building, all with the same speed but with different launch angles. Which one has the highest speed when it hits the ground? Ignore air resistance. Without using equations, explain your answer.
\(30.9\,\text{m}\)
\(5.02\,\text{s}\)
\(1.36\times10^{2}\,\text{m}\)
\(28.8\,\text{m/s}\)

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]
