You fire a flare gun straight up from point 3.00 above the ground. A 25.00g flare leaves the muzzle at a speed of 225.0 km/h. How high does the flare go relative to the ground?

The height of the flare relative to ground is 202.3 m. This is the sum of height reached by the flare and the 3 m platform above the ground.

Maximum height reached by the flare

The maximum height reached by the flare is determined from the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

h = (v²)/(2g)

where;

  • v is the speed = 225 km/h = 62.5 m/s

h = (62.5)²/(2 x 9.8)

h = 199.3 m

Height of the flare relative to ground

H = 199.3 + 3

H = 202.3 m

Thus, the height of the flare relative to ground is 202.3 m. This is the sum of height reached by the flare and the 3 m platform above the ground.
