An athlete throws a shot with weight m kg. At the beginning of the throwing motion, the shot is held h m above the ground. The athlete raises the shot to a height of h m before releasing it. The shot reaches a maximum height of h3 m above the ground before coming to rest at ground level having travelled a horizontal distance of 1 m. The values of m, h1, h2, h3, and x1 can be found in the table below. QUESTION 4(A) Determine vy 0 Table of parameters m (kg) 7.47 h (m) 1.30 h (m) 1.90 h3 (m) 3.90 x1 (m) 17.28 the vertical component of velocity of the shot in m/s at the time of release.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

We can apply the concept of conservation of mechanical energy to find the vertical component of the shots velocity at the moment of release Because th... View the full answer
