The correct Answer is:
To find the range of a projectile launched at an angle, we can use the formula for the range \( R \) of a projectile: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where: - \( u \) is the initial velocity, - \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Initial velocity \( u = 320 \, \text{ft/sec} \) - Angle of projection \( \theta = 30^\circ \) - Acceleration due to gravity \( g = 32 \, \text{ft/sec}^2 \) 2. **Calculate \( \sin(2\theta) \):** - First, calculate \( 2\theta = 2 \times 30^\circ = 60^\circ \). - Now find \( \sin(60^\circ) \): \[ \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the range formula:** \[ R = \frac{(320)^2 \cdot \sin(60^\circ)}{32} \] 4. **Calculate \( (320)^2 \):** \[ (320)^2 = 102400 \] 5. **Substitute \( \sin(60^\circ) \) into the equation:** \[ R = \frac{102400 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{32} \] 6. **Simplify the expression:** - First, simplify \( \frac{102400}{32} \): \[ \frac{102400}{32} = 3200 \] - Now substitute back: \[ R = 3200 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 1600\sqrt{3} \] 7. **Final Result:** \[ R \approx 1600 \cdot 1.732 \approx 2764.8 \, \text{ft} \] ### Conclusion: The range on the horizontal plane is \( 1600\sqrt{3} \, \text{ft} \) or approximately \( 2764.8 \, \text{ft} \).
