2. d = 1/2at^2 + v1t

v =d/t




3.
horizontal time it takes equals vertical time

Horizontal
t = d/v = 50 /(v1cos10)


Vertical
d = 1/2at^2 + v1t
-0.6 = 1/2(-9.81)(50/v1cos10)^2 + v1sin10(50 /(v1cos10)

i get v1 = 36.6 m/s

-1.6 = 1/2(-9.81)(50/v1cos10)^2 + v1sin10(50 /(v1cos10)
i get v1 = 34.8 m/s


So my range is 34.8 m/s to 36.6 m/s

for b part

dv = v1(t) - 1/2(9.81)(t^2)

maximum height occurs at half the time so i used 1/2(50/v1cos10)

dv = 34.8(1/2(50/36.64cos10) - 1/2(9.81)(1/2(50/34.8cos10))^2
i got 22.8 m

for 2nd velocity

dv = 36.64(1/2(50/36.64cos10) - 1/2(9.81)(1/2(50/36.64cos10))^2
i got 23.0 m


So my maximum height range is 22.8 m to 23.0 m

According to my online assignment this is wrong

Edit:
i just noticed for maximum height i guess I also add 2.1 m if they are measuring from the Ground so 22.8 + 2.1 = 24.9 m and 23.0 + 2.1 = 25.1 m but these values still are somehow wrong...


please helppppppppppp

[itex]y = v_{oy} t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 + y_o[/itex] (1)

[itex]y_{max}[/itex] occurs when [itex]y' = 0[/itex]

[tex]y' = v_{oy} - g t \longrightarrow t = v_{oy} / g[/tex]

Substitute t in eq.(1)

[tex]y = \frac{v^2_{oy}}{g} - \frac{1}{2} g \left\{\frac{v_{oy}}{ g}\right\}^2}+ y_o[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{v^2_{oy}}{g} \left\{1 - \frac{1}{2}}\right\} + y_o[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{v^2_{oy}}{2g} + y_o[/tex]

Using the componets of your velocities of 34.84 and 36.64 m/s should get the answer.

Should also note that Y could not exceed [itex]25\tan{10} +2.1 \leq 6.6[/itex] just to confirm your numbers are "in the right ball park"
