A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 2.2 meters at 32 m/s. How far will it travel horizontally before it hits the ground?

Total distance covered horizontally S= 21.44 m

Explanation:

Given: Height h=2.2 m, Speed Vx=32 m/s

Required: Total distance covered horizontally S=?

Sol. we have

Distance = Speed (horizontal component)× Time

so we fist calculate time to the ground. so using data

Initial Velocity Vyi = 0 m/s  (Zero Vertical component as launched horizontally).

g = 9.81 m/s²

using equation h = Vyi t + 1/2 (at²)

⇒ 2.2 m = 0 m/s ×t + 4.905 m/s²  ×  t²

t² = 2.2 m / 4.905 m/s² = 0.4485219164118247 s²

t = 0.67 s

Total distance covered horizontally S= 32 m/s × 0.67 s = 21.44 m

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
