A rocket is fired at 1500 m/s at an angle of 50 degrees with respect to the ground.
a)What are the horizontal and vertical velocities at 10 seconds.
b)What is the actual velocity at 10 seconds.
Vo = 1500m/s @ 50 deg.
a. Xo = hor. = 1500cos50 = 964.2m/s.
X=hor. = Vo + gt=964.2 + 0=964.2m/s.
Yo = ver. = 1500sin50 = 1149.1m/s.
Y=ver. = 1149.1 + (-9.8)10 = 1051m/s.
b. V = sqrt(x^2 + y^2),
V = sqrt((964)^2 + (1051)^2=1426.3m/s.
