What Are the Solutions to These Projectile Motion Problems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on two projectile motion problems involving a body projected at an angle and a helicopter accelerating upwards. The first problem requires finding the angle of projection where the horizontal range is three times the maximum height. The second problem involves calculating the helicopter's acceleration, the height from which a flare was fired, and the helicopter's height when the flare reaches the ground. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work done to solve these problems, as assistance is provided for learning rather than direct answers. The conversation highlights the collaborative nature of solving physics problems in an educational context.

Hi, got these as bonus questions but I am having a lot of trouble with answering them, so...

Can anyone help me with these 2?

*Neglecting any air resistance*

1) A body is projected at an angle such that the horizontal range is equal to three times the greatest height. find the angle of projection.

2) A helicopter resting on ground starts to accelerate uniformly upwards. After 30s a flare was fired horizontally from the helicopter. 10s later, the flare reached the ground. (g = 9.81m/s^2).
Calculate:

a)Acceleration of helicopter
b)Height from which flare was fired
c)Height of helicopter the instant flare reaches ground (assuming it continued its constant acceleration after flare was fired)


Thank you so much to whoever answers this.

p.s. they are not supposed to be number answers, variable (i don't think there's any other way)

Hi ado21,

You must show what work you've done to solve the questions. We help with homework, we don't do it for you.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
