consider the motion in Y-direction
v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Sin62 = 25.6 m/s
a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel
Y = vertical displacement = - 0.89 m
using the equation
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
- 0.89 = (25.6) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²
t = 5.3 sec
consider the motion along the horizontal direction :
v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Cos62 = 13.6 m/s
a = acceleration = 0 m/s²
t = time of travel = 5.3 sec
X = horizontal displacement =?
using the equation
X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
X = (13.6) (5.3) + (0.5) (0) t²
X = 72.1 m
d = distance traveled by the center fielder to catch the ball = 107 - x = 107 - 72.1 = 34.9 m
t = time taken = 5.3 sec
v = speed of center fielder
using the equation
v = d/t
v = 34.9/5.3
v = 6.6 m/s
Explanation :
It is given that,
Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg
Force applied by the motor, 
The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, 
Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,




So, the acceleration of the car is
. Hence, this is the required solution.
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.
If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.
For the wave you described . . .
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
= (6 m/s) / (12 m)
= 0.5 / sec
= 0.5 Hz .
(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)
