Answer:
[tex]\theta=39.49^{\circ}[/tex]
Explanation:
Maximum height of the pumpkin, [tex]H_{max}=9.99\ m[/tex]
Initial speed, v = 22 m/s
We need to find the angle with which the pumpkin is fired. the maximum height of the projectile is given by :
[tex]H_{max}=\dfrac{v^2\ sin^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]
On rearranging the above equation, to find the angle as :
[tex]\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sqrt{2gH_{max}}}{v})[/tex]
[tex]\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 9.99}}{22})[/tex]
[tex]\theta=39.49^{\circ}[/tex]
So, the angle with which the pumpkin is fired is 39.49 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
