Due to historical difficulty in delivering supplies by plane, one of your colleagues has suggested you develop a catapult for slinging supplies to affected areas, similar to the electromagnetic lift catapults used to launch planes from aircraft carriers. This catapult is located at a fixed point 400 meters away and 50 meters below the target site. The catapult is capable of launching the payload at 67 meters per second and an initial launch angle of 50 degrees. Using your knowledge of kinematics equations, determine whether this would be sufficient to deliver the payload to the drop site. 5. Once you have completed your adjusted diagrams and equations, describe the effects of changing variables on kinematic equations. These descriptions should reflect the different motions and considerations made for the modifications you considered in the previous step. In your descriptions, be sure to address the following: How did the changing variables affect the vertical and horizontal motion of the payload? What adjustments to delivery would need to be made to account for these changing variables?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine whether the catapult would be sufficient to deliver the payload to the drop site we can analyze the vertical and horizontal motion of the payload Horizontal Motion The horizontal motion o... View the full answer
