Questions
A shell is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x-direction from the top of an 80m high cliff. The shell strikes the ground 1330 m from the base of the cliff. What is the initial speed of the shell? (Take g = 10 m/s2)
detailed solution
Correct option is A
The initial velocity in the y-direction is zero.y−y0=uyt+12ayt2⇒(−80)−0=(0)t−12(10)t2⇒t=805=4sThe horizontal displacement is 1330 m. If the initial speed is v0, thenv0t=1330⇒v0=13304=332.5m/sTalk to our academic expert!
