Question

A 44.0-kg projectile is fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 1.38  102 m/s from the top of a cliff 160 m above level ground, where the ground is taken to be y = 0.

(a) What is the initial total mechanical energy of the projectile?

487960 J

(b) Suppose the projectile is traveling 97.8 m/s at its maximum height of y = 358 m. How much work has been done on the projectile by air friction?

-123163.92 J

(c) What is the speed of the projectile immediately before it hits the ground if air friction does one and a half times as much work on the projectile when it is going down as it did when it was going up?

_______ m/s
