SUMMARY

A dart player throws a dart horizontally at a speed of 12.4 m/s from a distance of 3.2 m away from the dartboard. The dart strikes the board 0.326 m below the bull's-eye due to the effects of gravity acting on the dart during its flight. The calculation involves determining the time it takes for the dart to reach the board and the vertical displacement caused by gravitational acceleration. Understanding these principles is essential for solving similar projectile motion problems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of projectile motion
  • Knowledge of gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s²)
  • Familiarity with horizontal velocity calculations
  • Ability to apply kinematic equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study kinematic equations for projectile motion
  • Learn about the effects of gravity on falling objects
  • Explore horizontal and vertical motion components in physics
  • Practice solving similar problems involving horizontal throws
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching projectile motion, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of horizontal throws in sports contexts.

a dart player, standing 3.2m away from the darboard... thorws a dart horizontally...

A dart player, standing 3.2m away from the dartboard, throws a dart horizontally at a speed of 12.4m/s. How far from the bull's eye(where the player aimed) did the dart stirke?

Answer: dy=0.326m (give a direction...


i don't get it, if you could show me how you got it, I've been trying and trying to solve it, but it doesn't work...

help is grealy appreciated , thanks.

Well first consider the time it takes to hit the dart board..

then consider the vertical movement of the object (hint: what is the dart's initial vertical velocity?) and think gravity (constant acceleration...)... then how far it moved (vertically) in the time it takes to strike the dartboard...

can't say much more or I'd be giving the answer away...
 


oh, ok thanks i got it from here.
:]
