Question

A projectile is launched at an angle of 45 degrees with an initial speed of 32 feet per second. How far does the projectile travel?

Answer 1

As the first part comes to the rest means, then it will fall under gravity directly.

First of all maximum height,

H=

g

u²sin²θ

H=

2×10

400×(

1

)

H=10m.

As initially the full projectile was supposed to land at A but due to explosion first part land at A', so to make the centre of mass lies at A the second part should lie at B.

f they don't break (explode) range OA

OA=

g

u²sin2θ

OA=400×sin45×
