In the Olympic shotput event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 13.0 m/s at a 43.0 ∘ angle from the horizontal. The shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.80 m above the ground.

Answer #1

Vx = 13 cos43 = 9.51 m/s

Vy = 13 sin43 = 8.87 m/s

Time to reach max height, t = 8.87/9.8 = 0.90 sec

H = 8.87 x 0.90 - 0.5 x 9.8 x 0.90^2 = 4.01 m

Maximum height = 4.01 + 1.80 = 5.81 m

Time, to = sqrt(2 x 5.81/9.8) = 1.09 sec

Total time, T = 1.09 + 0.90 = 1.99 sec

Distance, d = 9.51 x 1.99 = 18.91 m
