Math Problem Statement
Solution
Given Data:
- Initial velocity
- Launch angle
- Acceleration due to gravity
- Time at position 6:
- From the graph, the range increases horizontally, and altitude changes vertically.
Finding the answers:
- Downrange distance :
-
The horizontal velocity component is constant throughout the motion: Substituting values: Using :
-
The horizontal distance traveled at time is: Substituting and : Rounded to the nearest whole number:
