Answer:
(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m
(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m
(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is 670.82 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s
angle of projection, θ = 30⁰
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
(a) The range of the projectile in meters;
[tex]R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m[/tex]
(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;
[tex]H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m[/tex]
(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s[/tex]
