Question: During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. Figure shows a cross section
During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs. Figure shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan.
(a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angle θ0 = 35o to the horizontal from the vent at A in order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B, at vertical distance h = 3.30 km and horizontal distance d = 9.40 km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb's travel.
(b) What would be the time of flight?
(c) Would the effect of the air increase or decrease your answer in (a)?
