A spring-loaded gun, fired vertically, shoots a marble 6.0 m straight up in the air. What is the marble’s range if it is fired horizontally from 1.5 m above the ground?
The range of a projectile fired at an angle ? with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of
v0
feet per second is
r =
1
32
v02 sin(2?)
where r is the horizontal distance (in feet) the projectile travels. An athlete throws a javelin at 75 feet per second. At what angle must the athlete throw the javelin so that the javelin travels 145 feet? (Assume ? < 45°. Round your answer to two decimal places.)? = °
Let's say the launch speed is constant, but you can adjust the launch angle, and again we will deal with the special case where the landing point is at the same vertical level as the launch point. In this case, which launch angle will produce the maximum range?
45 degrees, angle less than 45 degrees, angle greater than 45 degrees, or does it depend?
