If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, then compare their impact velocities.
a)The impact velocity when throwing a stone above horizontal will be more than the case when throwing a stone below horizontal.
b The impact velocities of the two situations will be the same.
c More information is needed to conclude the relative strength of impact velocities.
d).The impact velocity when throwing a stone above horizontal will be less than the case when throwing a stone below horizontal.
which option is correct
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.
