Answer:
θ = 12.60°
Explanation:
In order to calculate the angle below the horizontal for the velocity of the hockey puck, you need to calculate both x and y component of the velocity of the puck, and also you need to use the following formula:
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})[/tex] (1)
θ: angle below he horizontal
vy: y component of the velocity just after the puck hits the ground
vx: x component of the velocity
The x component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory and is calculated by using the following formula:
[tex]v_x=v_o[/tex]
vo: initial velocity = 28.0 m/s
The y component is calculated with the following equation:
[tex]v_y^2=v_{oy}^2+2gy[/tex] (2)
voy: vertical component of the initial velocity = 0m/s
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
y: height
You solve the equation (2) for vy and replace the values of the parameters:
[tex]v_y=\sqrt{2gy}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(2.00m)}=6.26\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Finally, you use the equation (1) to find the angle:
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{6.26m/s}{28.0m/s})=12.60\°[/tex]
The angle below the horizontal is 12.60°
The angle below the horizontal of the velocity of the puck just before it hits the ground is 12.60°.
Given the following data:
To find the angle below the horizontal of the velocity of the puck just before it hits the ground:
First of all, we would determine the horizontal and vertical components of the hockey puck.
For horizontal component:
[tex]V_y^2 = U_y^2 + 2aS\\\\V_y^2 = 0^2 + 2(9.81)(2)\\\\V_y^2 = 39.24\\\\V_y = \sqrt{39.24} \\\\V_y = 6.26 \; m/s[/tex]
For vertical component:
[tex]V_x = U_x\\\\V_x = 28.0 \;m/s[/tex]
Now, we can find the angle by using the formula:
[tex]\Theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{V_y}{V_x} )[/tex]
Substituting the values, we have:
[tex]\Theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{6.26}{28.0} )\\\\\Theta = tan^{-1} (0.2236)\\\\\Theta = 12.60[/tex]
Angle = 12.60 degrees.
