Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let the initial position be at height $h = 4.2 	ext{ m}$. The initial velocity components are $u_x = v \cos 30^{\circ} = 40 	imes \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 20\sqrt{3} 	ext{ m/s}$ and $u_y = v \sin 30^{\circ} = 40 	imes \frac{1}{2} = 20 	ext{ m/s}$.Using the equation of motion for the vertical direction, taking the downward direction as positive:$y = u_y t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2$$4.2 = -20t + \frac{1}{2} (10) t^2$$5t^2 - 20t - 4.2 = 0$Multiplying by $10$ to simplify: $50t^2 - 200t - 42 = 0$. This is incorrect; let's use the standard convention where upward is positive:$-4.2 = 20t - \frac{1}{2} (10) t^2$$5t^2 - 20t - 4.2 = 0$$t = \frac{20 \pm \sqrt{(-20)^2 - 4(5)(-4.2)}}{2(5)} = \frac{20 \pm \sqrt{400 + 84}}{10} = \frac{20 \pm \sqrt{484}}{10} = \frac{20 \pm 22}{10}$.Since $t > 0$, $t = \frac{42}{10} = 4.2 	ext{ s}$.The horizontal distance $R$ is given by $R = u_x t = (20\sqrt{3}) 	imes 4.2 = 84\sqrt{3} 	ext{ m}$.
