Physics
WAEC 2008

 The horizontal component of the initial speed of a particle projected at 30° to the horizontal is 50 m\(^{-1}\). If the acceleration of free fall due to gravity is 10 ms\(^{-2}\), determine its;

(a) initial speed;

(b) speed at the maximum height reached.

Explanation

(a) Horizontal component

\(U_x = U cos \theta\) 

U = \(\frac{U_x}{cos0} = \frac{50}{cos 30^o}\) = 57.7 m/s

(b) At maximum height

\(v_y = O\) and \(V_x = U_x\) = 50m/s

V = \(\sqrt{V^2_x + V^2_v} = \sqrt{50^2 + 0^2}\)

= 50m/s
