1) The maximum distance can be reached when the dart is shot with an angle of $\theta=45^{\circ}$ above the horizontal (see demonstration of this fact at the end).

2) The motion of the dart is an uniform motion on the x-axis (horizontal direction) with constant velocity v_i = 5.84~m/s

and it is an uniformly accelerated motion on the y-axis (vertical direction), with the gravitational acceleration g=9.81~m/s^2

acting downwards. So we can write the laws of motion on both directions:
$S_x(t) =( v_i \cos{\theta}) t$
$S_y(t) = (v_i \sin{\theta})t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2$
where the negative sign means that g points downwards.

3) First of all we can find the time at which the dart reaches the ground. This can be found by requiring S_y(t)=0

:
$(v_i \sin{\theta})t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2=0$
From this we find two solutions: t=0~s

, corresponding to the beginning of the motion (so we are not interested in this one), and
$t= \frac{2 v_i \sin{\theta}}{g} =0.84~s$

4) Now that we now when the dart reaches the ground, we can use this information to find the distance covered on the x-axis, by using t=0.84~s

inside the equation of S_x(t)

written at point 2:
$S_x(0.84~s)= 5.84~m/s \cdot \cos{45^{\circ}} \cdot 0.84~s }=3.47~m$

--------------------------
DEMONSTRATION OF POINT 1:

Calling v the initial velocity of the dart, and using a coordinate system where the x-axis coincides with the horizontal direction and the y-axis with the vertical direction, we can write the law of motion on both directions:
$S_x(t) = v cos{\theta} t$
$S_y(t) = v sin{\theta} t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2$
where t is the time, $\theta$ is the initial angle of the dart, and g= -9.81 m/s^2

is the gravitational acceleration.
The maximum horizontal distance can be found by requiring that S_y=0

. This condition occurs twice: when the motion starts ( t=0

) and when the dart falls to the ground (let’s call t_s

the time at which this happens). Therefore we can find t_s

by requiring S_y(t_s)=0

, i.e.:
$v sin{\theta} t_s + \frac{1}{2} g t_s^2 =0$
which has two solutions: t_s=0

(beginning of the motion) and $t_s = - \frac{2 v sin{\theta}}{g}$ .So we can find the maximum horizontal distance covered by the dart by substituting this t_s

into the law of motion for S_x(t)

:
$S_x(t_s) = v cos\theta t_s = -\frac{2 v^2 cos\theta sin\theta}{g}$
Since
$sin2\theta = 2 cos\theta sin\theta$ ,
we can write
$S_x(t_s) = - \frac{v^2 sin2\theta}{g}$
Since g is negative, the maximum of this function occurs for $sin2\theta=1$ , and this happens when $\theta=45^{\circ}$ .

The chart shows the costs and shipping times for materials that a company needs to build a new product. which describes the best trade-off if the company needs to start building their product within the next two years? they should order the domestic materials because it is always best to choose the fastest shipping time. they should order the imported materials because it is always best to choose the lowest cost for materials. since the shipping time is longer, they should order the domestic materials because the additional cost is worth it to get the materials in time. even though the shipping time is longer, they should order the imported materials because they are less expensive and should arrive in plenty of time to build the product.
