Answers:

a) How high does the rock get?=1.933m

b)How far downrange from the pedestal does the rock land?=21.25m

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the rock has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

$V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta$ (2)

Where:

$V_{o}=18m/s$ is the rock's initial speed

$\theta=20\°$ is the angle

is the time since the rock is propelled until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$V_{y}=V_{o}sin\theta-gt$ (4)

Where:

$y_{o}=10m$ is the initial height of the rock

y=0 is the final height of the rock (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's begin with the anwers:

a) How high does the rock get?

Here we are talking about the maximun height $y_{max}$ the rock has in its parabolic motion. This is fulfilled when $V_{y}=0$ .

Rewritting (4) with this condition:

$0=V_{o}sin\theta-gt$ (5)

Isolating :

$t=\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

$y_{max}=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta(\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g})-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g})^{2}$ (7)

$y_{max}=\frac{V_{o}^{2}sin^{2}\theta}{2g}$ (8)

Solving:

$y_{max}=\frac{(18m/s)^{2}sin^{2}(20\°)}{2(9.8m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Then:

$y_{max}=1.933m$ (10) This is the maximum height the rock has.

b) How far downrange from the pedestal does the rock land?

Here we are talking about the maximun horizontal distance $x_{max}$ the rock has in its parabolic motion (this is fulfilled when y=0 ):

$0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (11)

Isolating from (11):

$t=\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta}{g}$ (12)

Substituting (12) in (1):

$x_{max}=V_{o}cos\theta (\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta}{g})$ (13)

$x_{max}=\frac{V_{o}^{2}(2cos\theta sin\theta)}{g}$ (14)

Knowing $sin(2\theta)=2cos\theta sin\theta$ :

$x_{max}=\frac{V_{o}^{2}sin2\theta}{g}$ (15)

Solving:

$x_{max}=\frac{(18m/s)^{2}sin2(20)}{9.8m/s^{2}}$ (16)

Finally:

$x_{max}=21.25m$ (17)

Answer from: Quest

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
