The world long jump record is 8.95m. Treated as a projectile, what is the maximum range obtained by a person if he has a take off speed of 9.5m/s? State your assumptions
Two objects are fired into the air. The drawing shows that they reach the same height, but the ranges of their projectile motions are
different. Which one is in the air for the greatest amount of time?
Projectile 1, because it has the smaller range and, hence, the horizontal component of its velocity is smaller than that of
projectile 2.
Both projectiles are in the air for the same amount of time.
Projectile 2, because it has the greater range.
Projectile 1, because it has the smaller initial speed and, therefore, travels more slowly than projectile 2.
The diagram on the right shows the initial velocity of an object. The
magnitude of the initial velocity is vo = 70 m/s. The angle is e = 30
degrees. What are the x and y components of the velocity?
