A volcanic eruption throws a boulder that lands 1.00 km horizontally from the crater. If the volcanic rocks were launched at an angle of 40° with respect to the horizontal and landed 900 m below the crater, (a) what would be boulders initial velocity and (b) what is the time of flight?

a)  v₀ = 69.29 m / s , b)  t = 18.84 s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use the projectile launch equations

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = y₀ + t - ½ g t²

Let's fix our reference system on the volcano, so the horizontal distance x = 1 km = 1000 m and the vertical distance y = -900 m, the initial height of the crater is I = 0 m. Let's replace to find the speeds

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         y = v₀ sin θ (x / v₀ cos θ) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos θ)2

         y = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² sec² θ

         ½ g x² sec² θ / v₀² = x tan θ - y

         v₀² = ½ g x² sec² θ / (x tan θ –y)

Let's calculate

           v₀² = ½ 9.8 1000² sec² 40 / (1000 tan 40 - (-900))

           v₀ = √ (8.35 10⁶ / 1,739 10³)

           v₀ = 69.29 m / s

    b) Flight time

           x = v₀ₓ t

           t = x / v₀ cos θ

           t = 1000 / 69.29 cos 40

           t = 18.84 s

as we know our atmosphere or air have different levels. every level has other gasses, and every gas has another permeability. when the light comes from lower permeability to higher permeability, it changes its direction. so that means that when the light comes from the moon to the earth, it changes it's direction many more times. it basically means that the shape of the light part of the moon is changed on the earth.
