A paintball is shot horizontally in the positive x direction at time t after the ball is shot it is 4 cm to the right and 4 cm below its starting point at time 2 t what is the position of the ball relative to its starting point ignore air resistance

Respuesta :

Answer:

At time 2t the paint ball is at 8 cm to the right and 16 cm to the bottom

Explanation:

 We have equation of motion , [tex]s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex], s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Considering the horizontal motion of paint ball

    Distance traveled during time t = 4 cm

    Initial velocity = u m/s

   Acceleration = 0 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

So [tex]4 = u*t+\frac{1}{2} *0*t^2\\ \\ u = \frac{4}{t}[/tex]

Now at time 2t,

  [tex]S= u*2t+\frac{1}{2} *0*(2t)^2\\ \\=\frac{4}{t} *2t\\ \\ =8cm[/tex]

  So horizontal distance traveled in time 2t = 8 cm to the right

Now considering the vertical motion of paint ball

  Distance traveled during time t = 4 cm

    Initial velocity = 0 m/s

   Acceleration = -g [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]4=0*t-\frac{1}{2} *g*t^2\\ \\ t^2=\frac{-8}{g}[/tex]

At time 2t,

     [tex]S=0*2t-\frac{1}{2} *g*(2t)^2\\ \\ =-\frac{1}{2} *g*4*\frac{-8}{g}\\ \\ =16 cm[/tex]

 So vertical distance traveled in time 2t = 16 cm to the bottom
