Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 68

From the edge of a cliff, a 0.55 kg projectile is launched with an initial kinetic energy of 1550 J. The projectile’s maximum upward displacement from the launch point is +140 m. What are the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of its launch velocity? (c) At the instant the vertical component of its velocity is 65 m/s, what is its vertical displacement from the launch point?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: , a, 0.55 kg, 1550 J, 140 m, 65 m

Find: (a) horizontal and; (b) vertical components of its launch velocity?; (c) At the instant the vertical component of its velocity is 65
