Answer:
Maximum height, h = 1.74 meters
Explanation:
It is given that,
A potato is shot out of the cylinder. It is a case of projectile motion. The potato makes an angle of 17 degrees above the horizontal.
Initial speed with which the potato is shot out, u = 20 m/s
We have to find the maximum height of the potato. The maximum height of a projectile (h) is given by the following formula as :
[tex]h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]
Where
[tex]\theta[/tex] = angle between the projectile and the surface
g = acceleration due to gravity
[tex]h=\dfrac{(20\ m/s)^2sin^2(17)}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}[/tex]
h = 1.74 m
or h = 1.74 meters
Hence, this is the required solution.
