The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into steps. We need to find the height of the tower and the speed with which the ball was projected. ### Step 1: Analyze the motion The ball is projected at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal. We can break down the initial velocity \(u\) into its horizontal and vertical components: - Horizontal component: \(u_x = u \cos(30^\circ)\) - Vertical component: \(u_y = u \sin(30^\circ)\) ### Step 2: Determine the final velocity components The ball strikes the ground at an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the horizontal after \(5\) seconds. At this point, the horizontal and vertical components of the final velocity \(V\) are equal: - \(V_x = V_y\) Since the horizontal component remains constant (no horizontal acceleration), we have: - \(V_x = u_x = u \cos(30^\circ)\) The vertical component can be calculated using the formula: \[ V_y = u_y - g t \] Where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (\(9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\)) and \(t = 5 \, \text{s}\). ### Step 3: Set up the equations From the angle of projection: 1. \(V_x = V_y\) 2. \(V_y = u_y - g t\) Substituting \(u_y\): \[ V_y = u \sin(30^\circ) - g \cdot 5 \] Since \(V_x = V_y\): \[ u \cos(30^\circ) = u \sin(30^\circ) - g \cdot 5 \] ### Step 4: Solve for initial velocity \(u\) Substituting the values of \(\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}\) and \(\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\): \[ u \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = u \cdot \frac{1}{2} - 9.81 \cdot 5 \] Rearranging gives: \[ u \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - u \cdot \frac{1}{2} = -49.05 \] \[ u \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \right) = -49.05 \] Calculating the left side: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2} \approx 0.366 \] Thus: \[ u \cdot 0.366 = 49.05 \] \[ u = \frac{49.05}{0.366} \approx 134.3 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the height of the tower Now that we have \(u\), we can find the height of the tower using the vertical motion equation: \[ h = u_y t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] Where \(u_y = u \sin(30^\circ) = 134.3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 67.15 \, \text{m/s}\): \[ h = 67.15 \cdot 5 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 9.81 \cdot 5^2 \] \[ h = 335.75 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 9.81 \cdot 25 \] \[ h = 335.75 - 122.625 \] \[ h \approx 213.125 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answers - **Height of the tower**: \(213.125 \, \text{m}\) - **Speed with which the ball was projected**: \(134.3 \, \text{m/s}\)
