The problem involves a body projected at a speed of 50 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees with the horizontal, and the objective is to determine the time at which the velocity makes an angle of 33.7 degrees with the horizontal. The context includes concepts from two-dimensional motion and possibly calculus.
Participants are exploring different approaches to the problem, with some guidance provided on considering the components of motion. One participant reports a specific time of 2 seconds as a potential solution, but there is no explicit consensus on the correctness of this value.
The original poster expresses uncertainty about the initial conditions and the time variable, indicating potential constraints in the problem setup.
Yep, that worked! I've got 2 seconds as the answer and hopefully it must be correct. Thanks :-)Adrian Jimenez said:Take into consideration that the motion consists of both x and y components (x=vcosθ and y=vsinθ). Perhaps you could try calculating what the initial speed and final speeds are for the y component. Then try calculating how much time it would take for that change in speed using your other kinematics formulas.
I confirm 2 sec. (More precisely, 2.03, using 9.8 for g.)dahano said:Yep, that worked! I've got 2 seconds as the answer and hopefully it must be correct. Thanks :-)
