At what angle from a horizontal should a weapon be fired to achieve minimum distance traveled by the projectile?
The weapon should be fired at a 45-degree angle from the horizontal to achieve the minimum distance traveled by the projectile. This angle maximizes the range (horizontal distance) of the projectile by balancing the vertical and horizontal components of its velocity. At any other angle, the total distance traveled would be greater.
What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum vertically distance traveled?
90
What is the angle for maxium altitude?
A baseball, cannonball, or other projectile launched at a 45° angle above the horizon will achieve maximum horizontal range. A projectile launched straight up will achieve maximum altitude, but you kind of have to watch it and be careful when it returns.
Is the distance of a certain mass when launched by a catapult affeted by potential energy and the angle in the catapult?
To achieve the most distance, you should set your catapult to release a projectile at 45 degrees angle relative to horizontal plane.Higher stored potential energy doesn't neccesarily mean more distance. Distance of the shot depends mainly on starting velocity, which in turn depends on rate at which catapult transfers the energy to the projectile. A limit for that depends on construction of the catapult.
At what angle from horizontal should a weapon be fired to achieve maximum distance traveled by the projectile?
On a flat plane in a vacuum--exactly 45 degrees. Several changes are necessary in the real world. to account for Earth curvature and air resistance and other factors. What this angle is can't be stated without knowing all the variables. One often overlooked factor is that a projectile actually follows an elliptical path, not a parabolic one. Ballistics tables are very complex and were one of the first tasks taken over by computers.
How do you improve projectile motion?
To improve projectile motion, you can adjust the initial velocity, launch angle, or launch height of the projectile. By optimizing these parameters, you can achieve greater distance, height, or accuracy in the motion of the projectile. Additionally, reducing air resistance and wind can also help improve the overall projectile motion.
How can you throw a projectile so that it has nonzero speed at the top of trajectory?
To achieve nonzero speed at the top of the trajectory, you should throw the projectile upward with an initial velocity greater than zero. This will allow the projectile to continue moving upward even at the top of its trajectory before it begins to fall back down due to gravity.
Will a ball thrown almost horizontally go the furthest?
No, this is an example of projectile motion. You should throw it at 45 degrees from the horizontal ground for it to have the maximum horizontal distance. This is because a sufficient height must be achieved, so that the ball can stay in the air longer and thus travel a longer distance while in flight.
What angle should you launch a catapult?
The optimal launch angle for a catapult to achieve maximum range is typically around 45 degrees. This angle balances the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's motion, maximizing distance. However, factors such as air resistance and the specific design of the catapult can slightly alter this ideal angle. For practical applications, testing different angles may yield the best results.
Why shot put is thrown at 42 degrees?
The optimal angle for shot put is around 42 degrees because this angle maximizes the projectile's distance. At this angle, the combination of vertical and horizontal velocity components allows the shot to achieve both height and length in its trajectory. Additionally, this angle helps to counteract the effects of gravity while minimizing air resistance, optimizing the throw's overall performance. Athletes often adjust their technique based on individual strength and skill, but 42 degrees remains a theoretical ideal for maximum distance.
In this vLab you used a complex machine to launch a projectile with the ultimate goal of hitting a target. Assume you built a really big machine that could launch the projectile a and ldquosignificant?
Building a larger machine to launch a projectile significantly farther requires considering factors like increased power for propulsion, longer barrel for acceleration, and precise aiming mechanisms to hit the target accurately. It's crucial to maintain structural integrity and balance in such a complex machine to ensure successful long-distance launches. Testing, simulations, and fine-tuning are essential to achieve the desired results with a larger-scale projectile launcher.
What launch angle makes the ball go farther?
yes it does because you can get the maximum distance from a 45 degree angle - at an elevation of 0, but as your beginning height (above the surface) increases the angle for maximum range changes.
