In 1993, Wayne Brian threw a spear at a record distance of 201.24 m. (This is not an official sports record because a special device was used to “elongate” Brian’s hand.) Suppose Brian threw the spear at a 35.0° angle with respect to the horizontal. What was the initial speed of the spear? 2. Find the maximum height and time of flight of the spear in problem #1.

I really don't know how to do any of this please help me :(

Answer:

V₀ = 45.81 m/s

H = 70.45 m

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

The motion of the spare is projectile motion. Therefore, we will first use the formula of range of projectile:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range of Projectile = 201.24 m

V₀ = Initial Speed = ?

θ = Launch Angle = 35°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

201.24 m = V₀²[Sin 2(35°)]/9.8 m/s²

V₀ = √[(201.24 m)/(0.095 m/s²)

V₀ = 45.81 m/s

Now, for maximum height:

H = V₀² Sin² θ/g

H = (45.81 m/s)² Sin² 35°/9.8 m/s²

H = 70.45 m

For the total time of flight:

T = 2 V₀ Sin θ/g

T = 2(45.81 m/s) Sin 35°/9.8 m/s²

T = 5.36 s
