put what we found in for time, solve for v.
To determine the speed at which the long jumper leaves the ground, we can use the equations of projectile motion. The horizontal and vertical components of the velocity are independent of each other.
Given:
Distance jumped, d = 10m
Angle of takeoff, θ = 45 degrees
Step 1: Break down the velocity into horizontal and vertical components.
The horizontal component (Vx) remains constant throughout the jump and is given by:
Vx = V × cos(θ)
The vertical component (Vy) changes due to the force of gravity and can be determined using the equation:
Vy = V × sin(θ)
Step 2: Calculate the vertical component of the velocity.
At the highest point of a projectile's trajectory, Vy becomes zero. We can use this information to determine the initial vertical component of the velocity:
0 = Vy - g × t
Where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2) and t is the time taken to reach the highest point.
Since the motion is symmetrical, the total time of flight is twice the time taken to reach the highest point:
t_total = 2t
Step 3: Find the time taken to reach the highest point.
Using the equation of motion:
Vy = Vy0 - g × t
Where Vy0 is the initial vertical velocity.
Since Vy0 is the same as the vertical component of the overall velocity:
Vy0 = -V × sin(θ)
0 = -V × sin(θ) - g × t
t = -V × sin(θ) / g
Step 4: Calculate the total time of flight.
t_total = 2 × (-V × sin(θ) / g)
t_total = -2V × sin(θ) / g
Step 5: Determine the horizontal component of the velocity.
Using the equation of motion for horizontal motion:
d = Vx × t_total
Vx = d / t_total
Step 6: Calculate the speed at takeoff.
The speed at takeoff is the magnitude of the velocity, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of the horizontal and vertical components:
V = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2)
Now, let's substitute the given values into the equations to find the speed at takeoff:
Vx = d / t_total
= 10m / (-2V × sin(θ) / g)
= -5V / (V × sin(θ) / g)
= -5g / sin(θ)
Now, substituting θ = 45 degrees and g = 9.8 m/s^2:
Vx = -5 × 9.8 / sin(45°)
= -49 / (√2 / 2)
= -49 × 2 / (√2)
= -98 / √2
= -98√2 / 2
= -49√2
Since the horizontal component is negative, we can ignore the negative sign when we calculate the magnitude of the velocity:
V = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2)
= sqrt((-49√2)^2 + (V × sin(θ))^2)
= sqrt(49 × 2 + V^2 × sin^2(45°))
= sqrt(98 + V^2 × (1/2))
= sqrt(98 + (V^2/2))
= sqrt(98 + V^2/2)
Since we know that Vx = -49√2, we can substitute this value:
-49√2 = sqrt(98 + V^2/2)
2402 = 98 + V^2/2
2304 = V^2/2
4608 = V^2
V = sqrt(4608)
V ≈ 67.82 m/s
Therefore, the speed at which the long jumper leaves the ground is approximately 67.82 m/s.
To determine the speed at which the long jumper leaves the ground, we can use the concept of projectile motion. In projectile motion, an object moves in a curved path under the influence of gravity, assuming no air resistance.
The speed at which the long jumper leaves the ground can be determined by separating the initial velocity (launch velocity) into horizontal and vertical components. Since the jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 45 degrees, the launch velocity can be divided into two equal components: one along the horizontal (x-axis) and one along the vertical (y-axis).
It is important to note that the initial vertical velocity determines the height achieved by the jumper, while the horizontal velocity determines the distance.
Let's assume the launch velocity as "v." Since the angle is 45 degrees, both the horizontal and vertical components will have the same magnitude.
The horizontal component of the velocity (v_x) can be calculated using the cosine of the launch angle:
v_x = v * cos(45°) = v * (sqrt(2) / 2)
The vertical component of the velocity (v_y) can be calculated using the sine of the launch angle:
v_y = v * sin(45°) = v * (sqrt(2) / 2)
Since the horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the flight, it is equal to the velocity at takeoff, while the vertical velocity changes due to the effect of gravity.
The time taken to reach the maximum height can be calculated using the vertical component of the velocity:
v_y = v * (sqrt(2) / 2) = u + g * t
Here, u represents the initial vertical velocity, g represents the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time of flight.
Since the maximum height is achieved when the vertical velocity becomes zero (at the peak of the motion), we can set v_y = 0:
0 = v * (sqrt(2) / 2) - g * t
From this equation, we can solve for t:
t = v * (sqrt(2) / (2 * g))
Once we have the time taken to reach the maximum height, we can use it to calculate the launch velocity:
v_y = u - g * t
Since v_y is the vertical component of the velocity at takeoff and u is the initial vertical velocity, we can substitute the values:
v * (sqrt(2) / 2) = u - g * (v * (sqrt(2) / (2 * g)))
Now, we can solve for u:
u = v * (sqrt(2) / 2) + v * (sqrt(2) / 2)
u = v * (sqrt(2) / 2) * (1 + 1)
u = v * sqrt(2)
So, the initial vertical velocity (launch velocity) is equal to v multiplied by the square root of 2 (u = v * sqrt(2)).
Therefore, the speed the long jumper leaves the ground at is v multiplied by the square root of 2.
