How can we tell where you went wrong when you don't show your work? You could be making a simple math error.pennywise1234 said:Homework Statement
You jump straight upward off a trampoline with an initial velocity of 30 km/h. How high above the trampoline will you reach?
Homework Equations
v2=v1 + a x t & v2(square root)=v1(square root) + 2adThe Attempt at a Solution
I tried 30km/h into the second equation (knowing that acceleration in 9.81) and that the vertical at its peak is 0 but my number is no were near the answer key
do i have to convert km/h to m? and where did i go wrong
Convert km/h into the same units as your acceleration - so if using 9.81m/s2 convert km/h into m/s. You are only dealing with one direction so there isn't a reason to apply any conversion of degrees.pennywise1234 said:the answer is in meters, which is 3.54m. So i do not convert km to m i convert to degrees?
Projectile motion is the motion of an object through the air under the influence of gravity, without any external forces acting on it.
A trampoline affects projectile motion by providing a surface for the object to bounce off of, changing its trajectory and altering its velocity and acceleration.
The trajectory of a projectile on a trampoline is influenced by the initial velocity, angle of launch, mass of the object, and the elasticity and shape of the trampoline surface.
Air resistance can affect projectile motion on a trampoline by slowing down the object's velocity and reducing the distance it travels. This is especially noticeable with larger and more aerodynamic objects.
Yes, a trampoline can be used to demonstrate projectile motion by launching objects from different angles and observing how they travel through the air and bounce off the trampoline surface.
