A shell bursts on contact with the gorund and pieces from it fly in all directions with velocities up to `60 m//s`. Show that a man `180 m` away is in danger for `6sqrt(2) s`.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how long the man, who is 180 m away from the point of explosion, remains in danger from the pieces of the shell that burst with a maximum velocity of 60 m/s. We will use the concepts of projectile motion to find the time of flight for the pieces of the shell. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the parameters:** - Maximum velocity of the pieces (u) = 60 m/s - Distance from the explosion to the man (R) = 180 m - We need to find the time duration (t) during which the man is in danger. ...
