Problems & Exercises
(a) 560 m/s
(b)
(c) 80.0 m. This error is not significant because it is only 1% of the answer in part (b).
(a) −0.486 m
(b) The larger the muzzle velocity, the smaller the deviation in the vertical direction, because the time of flight would be smaller. Air resistance would have the effect of decreasing the time of flight, therefore increasing the vertical deviation.
(a) , south of west
(b) The wind should make the plane travel slower and more to the south, which is what was calculated.
(a) Since , then B reaches the greatest height.
(b) i. Yes, it is consistent because . ii. No, it does not make sense because y is proportional to .
(c)
