At what height h above the ground does the projectile have a speed of 0.5v?

Express your answer in terms of v and the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity g.

Answer:

h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the projectile is 0.5 v. Let h is the height above the ground. Using the first equation of motion to find it.

v=u+at

v=u-gt

Initial speed of the projectile is v and final speed is 0.5 v.

0.5v=v-gt

t=\dfrac{v}{2g}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Let h is the height above the ground. Using the second equation of motion as :

h=vt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=v\dfrac{v}{2g}-\dfrac{1}{2}g(\dfrac{v}{2g})^2

h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}

So, the height of the projectile above the ground is \dfrac{3v^2}{8g}. Hence, this is the required solution.
