The true speed and direction of the football thrown by the quarterback is 30.185 mph and 9⁰ respectively.
<h3>
Relative velocity of the football</h3>
The true speed and direction of the football is determined by applying the concept of relative velocity.
Vr/w = Vb - Vw
where;
- Vr/w is the velocity of the football with respect to the wind
- Vb is the velocity of the football
- Vw is the velocity of the wind
Vr/w = 41 mph - 11 mph = 30 mph
The direction speed can be determined by sketching a triangle
Direction of the speed, θ = (360 - 339) - (180 - 168)
θ = 21 - 12 = 9⁰
<h3>Resultant speed;</h3>
R² = 41² + 11² - 2(41 x 11 x cos9)
R² = 911.105
R = √911.105
R = 30.185 mph
Thus, the true speed and direction of the football thrown by the quarterback is 30.185 mph and 9⁰ respectively.
