a) The initial speed of the projectile is approximately 42.410 meters per second.

b) The speed of the projectile after 4 seconds is approximately 21.352 meters per second.

c) The horizontal range of the projectile is 169.64 meters.

d) The maximum height of the projectile is 68.775 meters.

e) The speed of the projectile when it landed on the ground is approximately 46.807 meters per second.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the projects shows a parabolic motion, which consists in the combination of horizontal uniform motion and vertical uniformly accelerated motion due to gravity. This motion is represented by the following equations of motion:

$x = x_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t\cdot \cos \theta$ (1)

$y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t\cdot \sin \theta + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x_{o}$ , - Initial and current horizontal position, measured in meters.

$y_{o}$ , - Initial and current vertical position, measured in meters.

$\theta$ - Launch angle, measured in sexagesimal angle.

- Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

- Time, measured in second.

a) By using (2) and knowing that $y_{o} = 20\,m$ , $y = 0\,m$ , $t = 8\,s$ , $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then initial speed of the projectile is:

$v_{o}\cdot t \cdot \sin \theta = y-y_{o}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}$

$v_{o} = \frac{y-y_{o}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} }{t\cdot \sin \theta}$

$v_{o} = \frac{0\,m-20\,m-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (8\,s)^{2} }{(8\,s)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}}$

$v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}$

The initial speed of the projectile is approximately 42.410 meters per second.

b) The vertical component of the velocity of the projectile is determine by differentiating (2) in time and substitute all known values:

$v_{y} = v_{o}\cdot \sin \theta +g\cdot t$ (3)

( $v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $t = 4\,s$ )

$v_{y} = -2.5\,\frac{m}{s}$

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is:

$v_{x} = v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta$

$v_{x} = 21.205\,\frac{m}{s}$

And the speed of the projectile is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{\left(21.205\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-2.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$v \approx 21.352\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the projectile after 4 seconds is approximately 21.352 meters per second.

c) By (1) we find the horizontal range of the projectile:

( $x_{o} = 0\,m$ , $v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $t = 8\,s$ )

$x = 0\,m + \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (8\,s)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}$

$x = 169.64\,m$

The horizontal range of the projectile is 169.64 meters.

d) The projectile reaches its maximum height when velocity is zero. By (3) and knowing that $v_{y} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the time associated with maximum height is:

$0\,\frac{m}{s} = \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s}\right)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot t$

$t = 3.745\,s$

And by (2) and knowing that $y_{o} = 20\,m$ , $v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t = 3.745\,s$ , $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the maximum height reached by the projectile is:

$y = 20\,m + \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3.745\,s)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (3.745\,s)^{2}$

$y = 68.775\,m$

The maximum height of the projectile is 68.775 meters.

e) If we know that $y_{o} = 20\,m$ , $v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t = 8\,s$ , $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the components of the speed are, respectively:

$v_{y} = \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s}\right)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (8\,s)$

$v_{y} = -41.728\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{x} = v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta$

$v_{x} = 21.205\,\frac{m}{s}$

And the speed of the projectile is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{\left(21.205\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-41.728\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$v \approx 46.807\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the projectile when it landed on the ground is approximately 46.807 meters per second.

5submission this assignment is worth 20 points total. you are required to submit the following by next lab: 1. (3 points) determine the equation for the output angular velocity ω2 = θ˙ 2 as a function of θ1, ω1 = θ˙ 1 and α. you must show all your work to receive credit. 2. (2 points) use the result of problem#1 to plot ω2 over 0 ≤ θ1 ≤ 360deg with ω1 = 360deg/sec. do this for α = {10,30}deg. show the results on the same plot and properly label the axes, title, legend. for this you can use matlab or ms excel. 3. (3 points) determine the equation for the output angular acceleration ω˙ 2 and create a plot similar to the one in problem#2. 4. (10 points) submit plots of the results (ω2 and ω˙ 2) obtained from creo/mechanism and compare them to results of problem#2 and problem#3. note that you should do these comparisons for the two cases with α = {10,30}deg. 5. (2 points) provide a brief explanation of the results. did they match? what are the implications as misalignment angle increases?
