Recall that the Range equation gives the horizontal distance a projectile can be launched. Suppose there is a slight breeze so that the range equation is modified in the following way: R(0) : = sin(20) – 0.900 R Part A Use Calculus to determine the angle (in degrees) at which the projectile will reach its maximum range. ?

n a relief operation mission involving a helicopter h distance above the ground traveling with a horizontal velocity vx. What should be the expression for the horizontal distance dx at which you release the relief package so that it will arrive to the survivors at the right place? (Neglect the effect of air resistance) Solution To determine this, we must first derive the time it takes for the relief package to reach the survivors. We use this equation -h = vinitial-yt + (1/2)ay If we just drop the package from the helicopter, the equation above becomes = + (1/2)ay Substituting ay = -g then simplifying results to t = sqrt( / ) which is the time it takes for the object to reach the ground. Since the package will just travel at a constant velocity in the x-axis, thus dx = vxt Substituting the time taken by the package to reach to ground results to: dx = ( )( sqrt ( / ) ) which is the expression for the horizontal distance at which you should drop the package.

Flight of a golf ball A golf ball is driven down a horizontal fairway withan initial speed of 55 m/s at an initial angle of 25° (from a tee with negligible height). Neglect all forces except gravity, and assume the ball’s trajectory lies in a plane.a. When the ball first touches the ground, how far has it traveled horizontally and how long has it been in the air?b. What is the maximum height of the ball?c. At what angles should the ball be hit to reach a green that is 300 m from the tee?
You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizontal range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.0 ss for the dart to land back at the barrel. Part A What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun?
