How i can solve this question?

  • Two objects are projected at the same time ,one of them is projected with 2Vo velocity and m angle and other is projected with Vo(90 degree to ground) velocity from the ground and distance betwen them =L
    a- What should be m in order to have these two objects to collide ?
    b-what is the height of the object when Vo=sqrt(g.L)


  • The vertical distance "Y" of the projectile is

    Y = 2Vo(sin m)(T) - (1/2)gT^2

    where

    g = acceleration due to gravity

    For the other object vertically launched,,

    Y = Vo(T) - (1/2)gT^2

    and for the two objects to collide, the 2 equations must be equal, hence

    2Vo(sin m)(T) - (1/2)gT^2 = Vo(T) - (1/2)gT^2

    and also, the "T's" for both objects are the same.

    Simplifying the above,

    2Vo(sin m)(T) = Vo(T)

    and since the factors "Vo" and "T" appear on both sides of the equation, the above becomes

    2(sin m) = 1

    sin m = 1/2

    m = arc sin 1/2

    m = 30 degrees


    << what is the height of the object when Vo=sqrt(g.L) >>

    I do not understand what "height" you are referring to here.


  • a)
    They need to have the same height at the same time.
    y = yo + vo t + 1/2 a t^2

    h1 = 0 + (2vo)(sin m)t + 1/2 (-9.8)t^2
    h1 = 2vo sin m t - 4.9t^2

    h2 = 0 + vo t + 1/2 (-9.8)t^2
    h2 = vo t - 4.9t^2

    h1 = h2
    2vo sin m t - 4.9t^2 = vo t - 4.9t^2
    2vo sin m t = vo t
    2 sin m = 1
    sin m = 1/2
    m = 30 degrees

    b)
    v^2 - vo^2 = 2ax
    0 - vo^2 = -2gh
    vo^2/2g = h
    gL/2g = h
    L/2 = h


  • a. M should equal 90 (hence the 90 degrees to ground)

    b. 45 degrees? Not sure...
