The range of a projectile that is launched with an initial velocity v at an angle of with the horizontal is given by R-
where g is the acceleration due to gravity or 9.8 meters per second squared. If a projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 15
meters per second, what angle is required to achieve a range of 20 meters? Round answers to the nearest whole number.

The range of a projectile that is launched with an initial velocity v at an angle of with the horizontal is given by R where g is the acceleration due to gravit class=

Respuesta :

Answer: theta ≈ 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

It said on the "show me" box at the bottom of the screen :)

The required angle of the projectile motion having range 20 m and initial velocity 15 m is 30.29°

Range of the projectile motion:

The formula for finding projectile motion is given by

Range R = [tex]\frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}[/tex]

where v is the initial velocity and g is acceleration and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the projectile angle of the object

How to calculate angle ?

If we have given range and initial velocity with acceleration then by substituting above range formula we can find angle of the projectile

Here we have given that

R = 20 m

v = 15 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore

[tex]20=\frac{15^2sin2\theta}{9.8}[/tex]

[tex]sin2\theta=\frac{20(9.8)}{225}[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] = 30.29

This is the required angle of the projectile
