A toy rocket is launched twice into the air from level ground and returns to level ground. The rocket
is first launched with initial speed v at an angle of 45° above the horizontal. It is launched the second
time with the same initial speed, but with the launch angle increased to 60.° above the horizontal.
Describe how both the total horizontal distance the rocket travels and the time in the air are affected
by the increase in launch angle. [Neglect friction.]

Answer :


Well if they both launched into the air with the same initial velocity whichever has a greater angle will stay in the air longer because it is being shot farther into the sky.

The increase in launch angle increases the overall horizontal distance traveled by rocket and decreases the time spent in the air increases

What is a range of projectile?

The horizontal distance covered by the body when the body is thrown at some angle is known as the range of the projectile. It is given by the formula;

[tex]\rm R=\frac{u^2 sin 2 \theta}{g}[/tex]

The value of the sin function decreases from a scale of 90 to 180.

Hence, the increase in launch angle increases the overall horizontal distance traveled by rocket and decreases the time spent in the air increases.
