Physic's projectile motion assignment

In summary, a projectile is launched from point A and travels 28m horizontally in 1.4 seconds. The horizontal velocity can be calculated using the equation s=ut+1/2gt^2. The magnitude and direction of the projectile's velocity at point B can be determined by considering the projectile's horizontal and vertical components. The vertical component of the launch velocity can be found using the equation v=u+at. The maximum height reached by the projectile can be calculated using the equation 2as=v^2-u^2. Finally, the magnitude and direction of the projectile's launch velocity can be calculated by considering the vector diagram and using the equations v=u+at and s=ut+1/2gt^2.

The Attempt at a Solution

/ (a) and (b)

I believe you have to actually insert your attempt at the solutions for the questions which you are asking help for, else the homework helpers will not help you.

I recommend editing this post and inserting your attempt at the solutions for the questions you are asking help with.
 

1. What is projectile motion?

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is launched into the air and moves along a curved path due to the force of gravity.

2. What are the factors that affect projectile motion?

The factors that affect projectile motion include the initial velocity, angle of launch, mass of the object, air resistance, and the force of gravity.

3. How do you calculate the maximum height and range of a projectile?

The maximum height can be calculated using the formula h = (vi^2 * sin^2(theta)) / 2g, where vi is the initial velocity, theta is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The range can be calculated using the formula R = (vi^2 * sin(2*theta)) / g.

4. What is the difference between horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion?

The horizontal component of projectile motion is the motion of the object in the x-direction, while the vertical component is the motion in the y-direction. These components are independent of each other, meaning that the horizontal velocity remains constant while the vertical velocity changes due to the force of gravity.

5. How does air resistance affect projectile motion?

Air resistance or drag can affect projectile motion by slowing down the object and changing its trajectory. The amount of air resistance depends on the shape, size, and speed of the object. In some cases, air resistance can be ignored, but in others, it must be taken into account when calculating the motion of a projectile.
