A particle P is projected with speed u at an angle α above the horizontal from a point O on a horizontal plane and moves freely under gravity. The horizontal and vertical displacements of P from O at any subsequent time t are denoted by x and y respectively.
(a) Derive the equation of the trajectory of P in the form
y=xtanα−2u2gx2sec2α.
(4)
It is given that u=202 m s−1 and that the particle P passes through the point where x=64 m and y=8 m.
(b) Find the possible values of tanα.
(3)
题目中文翻译
质点 P 从水平面上的点 O 以速率 u、与水平方向成 α 角、斜向上的方向抛出,随后仅在重力作用下自由运动。在随后的任意时刻 t,P 相对于 O 的水平位移和竖直位移分别记为 x 和 y。
(a) 推导 P 的轨迹方程,并写成以下形式:
y=xtanα−2u2gx2sec2α.
(4)
已知 u=202 m s−1,且质点 P 经过 x=64 m、y=8 m 的点。
(b) 求 tanα 的可能值。
