An artilleryman makes a training shot from a gun at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizon.
An artilleryman makes a training shot from a gun at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizon. The initial velocity of the projectile is 500 m / s. How long after the shot will the artilleryman hear the sound from the bursting of the shell?
Reference system: origin is at the point of the shot, y-axis is directed upwards, x-axis is horizontal.
Vertical and horizontal initial velocities:
Vy0 = V0 * cos 60 ° = (500 * √3) / 2 = 250√3 m / s;
Vx0 = V0 * sin 60 ° = 500 * 0.5 = 250 m / s.
The projectile will move vertically with an acceleration g = 10 m / s ^ 2. The horizontal component of the speed is constant.
During the time t1 in flight, the vertical movement of the projectile is zero.
Moving in y through Vy0 and accelerating g:
0 = vy0t1 – gt1 ^ 2/2
vy0 = gt1 / 2;
t1 = 2vy0 / g.
Answer: 150.28 c.
