5. Projectile Motion
Positive (Upward) Launch
Problem 8b
Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionIn the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at the elevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range when launched at a 45° angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launched with speed into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontal retarding force Fwᵢₙd = -Fwᵢₙd î. b. By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.50 kg ball reduced if Fwᵢₙd = 0.60 N?
