A javelin thrower standing at rest holds the center of the javelin behind her head, then accelerates
Question:
A javelin thrower standing at rest holds the center of the javelin behind her head, then accelerates it through a distance of 70 cm as she throws. She releases the javelin 2.0 m above the ground traveling at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Top-rated javelin throwers do throw at about a 30° angle, not the 45° you might have expected, because the biome chanics of the arm allow them to throw the javelin much faster at 30° than they would be able to at 45°. In this throw, the javelin hits the ground 62 m away. What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration?
