sin(60) =.866

20m/s*.866 = 17.32m/s in the vertical direction.

x=17.32t - 9.81t2

x=0 when the ball returns to its original height, so 17.32t = 9.81t2

17.32=9.81t

t=1.766sec for the ball to return to its original height. 1/2 this time will be its maximum height.

T=.883 sec.

maximum height = 17.32t - 9.81t2 = 14.4109 - 6.807 = 7.6039 m

If a ball is thrown at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal at a speed of 16 meters per second from the top of a 12.4 m tall building what is the maximum height of the ball above the ground?

17.8 meters


A ball is thrown into the air at angle of 45 degrees at what point is the total velocity the greatest?

The velocity is greatest at two points:1). when it leaves the hand of the tosser2). when it returns to the same height as it was when it was releasedThis answer is the same for any angle above horizontal, regardless of the angle.


A roller coaster moves 200ft horizontally it rises 135ft at angle of 30degrees above horizontal It travels 135ft at angle of 40degrees below horizontal What is displacement from start point to end?

420 feet at about an angle of -3 degrees.


What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum horizontal distance traveled?

A trajectory of 45 degrees elevation gives the longest horizontal travel- (not taking air drag into consideration nor any aerodynamic properties of a projectile.


What angle should a ramp be?

Fifteen degrees from the horizontal.


What is the name of the angle above 90 degree?

An angle above 90 but less than 180 degrees is an obtuse angle An angle above 180 degrees is a reflex angle


What does 160 degree angles look like?

An obtuse angle is an angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. A 180 degree angle is a straight horizontal line. So you can imagine that a 160 degree angle is almost but not quite horizontal.


What is a nonverticle line?

It is a line that is not at an angle of 90 degrees to the horizontal!


What angle has same horizontal displacement as 25 degrees?

65


What angle has the same horizontal displacment as 20 degrees?

20 degrees is a measure of angular displacement. This cannot be converted to lateral (horizontal) displacement.


How does the angle of release affect the motion of a projectile both vertical and horizontal?

Smaller angles will result in a larger horizontal velocity and smaller vertical velocity. The times of flight will also be shorter since it's closer to the ground. Larger angles have a larger vertical velocity and smaller horizontal velocity. Time of flight will be much longer since it is higher above the ground. As for distance, 45 degrees will result in the greatest distance and for every distance before the furthest one there is an angle above 45 degrees and an angle below 45 degrees that will result in that distance.


A rock is thrown upward at an angle of 50 degree with respect to the horizontal As it risesm its horizontal component of velocity?

If you ignore the effect of the air grabbing at it and only figure in gravity, then the horizontal component of velocity is constant, from the time the stone leaves your hand until the time it hits the ground. Makes no difference whether you toss it up, down, horizontal, or on a slant. Also makes no difference whether it's a cannonball, a stone, or a bullet.
