In a movie, a monster climbs to the top of a building 30 m above the ground and hurls a boulder downward with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 45° below the horizontal. How far from the base of the building does the boulder land?

Respuesta :

Answer:

22.27 m

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 25 m/s

Angle of projection, θ = 45°

height, h = 30 m

Let t be the time taken to reach the ground.

use second equation of motion in vertical direction

[tex]s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

[tex]- 30 = -25 Sin 45\times t - \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]4.9t^{2}+17.67 t - 30 = 0[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{-17.67\pm \sqrt{17.67^{2}+4\times 4.9 \times 30}}{9.8}[/tex]

t = 1.26 second

The horizontal distance = horizontal velocity x time

d = 25 Cos 45 x 1.26 = 22.27 m
