Question

a body is projected at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal with a velocity of 15m/s, calculate the time it takes to reach the greatest height take g=10ms2 and neglect air resistance​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical component the velocity of the projectile is 15 m/s x sin 30 = 7.5 m/s.

The body is accelarating downwards at 10 m/s^2.

This means that every second its upward velocity reduces by 10 m/s.

So if the body is travelling upwards at 7.5 m/s then how long does it take for the velocity to become 0?

(7.5 m/s) / (10 m/s^2) = 0.75 s
