Step-by-step solution

Given:
Initial speed, u=250 m/su = 250 \, \text{m/s}
Angle of projection, θ=30∘\theta = 30^\circ
Acceleration due to gravity, g=10 m/s2g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2

Part a· 3 steps

Time of flight

  1. The formula for the time of flight (TT) for a projectile is given by

    T=2usin⁡θgT = \frac{2u \sin\theta}{g}
  2. Substitute the given values into the formula

    T=2×250 m/s×sin⁡(30∘)10 m/s2T = \frac{2 \times 250 \, \text{m/s} \times \sin(30^\circ)}{10 \, \text{m/s}^2}

    We know that sin⁡(30∘)=0.5\sin(30^\circ) = 0.5.

  3. Calculate the time of flight

    T=2×250×0.510 sT = \frac{2 \times 250 \times 0.5}{10} \, \text{s} T=25010 sT = \frac{250}{10} \, \text{s} T=25 sT = 25 \, \text{s}

    The time of flight is 25 s.

    T=25 s\boxed{T = 25 \, \text{s}}

Part b

ux=1253 m/s≈216.5 m/su_x = 125\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \approx 216.5 \, \text{m/s}

Speed of the particle at its maximum height

  1. At the maximum height, the vertical component of the velocity is zero.

    The horizontal component of the velocity remains constant throughout the projectile motion (neglecting air resistance).
    The horizontal component of the initial velocity (uxu_x) is given by:

    ux=ucos⁡θu_x = u \cos\theta
  2. Substitute the given values into the formula

    ux=250 m/s×cos⁡(30∘)u_x = 250 \, \text{m/s} \times \cos(30^\circ)

    We know that cos⁡(30∘)=32≈0.866\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866.

  3. Calculate the speed at maximum height

    ux=250×32 m/su_x = 250 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \, \text{m/s} ux=1253 m/su_x = 125\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} ux≈125×1.732 m/su_x \approx 125 \times 1.732 \, \text{m/s} ux≈216.5 m/su_x \approx 216.5 \, \text{m/s}

    The speed of the particle at its maximum height is approximately 216.5 m/s.

    ux=1253 m/s≈216.5 m/s\boxed{u_x = 125\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \approx 216.5 \, \text{m/s}}
