A projectile is shot from the ground at an angle of #pi/8 # and a speed of #2 m/s#. When the projectile is at its maximum height, what will its distance from the starting point be?
2 Answers
Explanation:
The projectile is at its maximum height when
Its
Its
So the total distance
So after all the algebra, we get
The distance form the starting point,
Explanation:
The equation for the y coordinate is:
The equation for the x coordinate is:
The time that the projectile is at is maximum height is at the axis of symmetry of the parabola:
The distance, d, at the above time is:
