You throw a ball from the balcony onto the court in the basketball arena. You release the ball at a height of 7.00 m above the c

ourt, with an initial velocity equal to 9.00 m/s at 33.0° above the horizontal. A friend of yours, standing on the court 11.0 m from the point directly beneath you, waits for a period of time after you release the ball and then begins to move directly away from you at an acceleration of 1.80 m/s2. (She can only do this for a short period of time!) If you throw the ball in a line with her, how long after you release the ball should she wait to start running directly away from you so that she’ll catch the ball exactly 1.00 m above the floor of the court?

Answer:

Your friend has to wait 0.26 s after you throw the ball to start running.

Explanation:

The equation that gives the position vector of the ball is as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t ·sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal positon

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = throwing angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

The equation of displacement of your friend is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of your friend at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the situation. Notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point.

Let´s find the time of flight of the ball. We know that at the final time, the y-component of the vector r has to be -6.00 m (1 m above the ground). Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t ·sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-6.00 m = 0 m + 9.00 m/s · t · sin 33.0° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 9.00 m/s · sin 33.0° · t + 6.00 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.71 s

Now that we have the time of flight, we can calculate the x-component of the vector r (the horizontal distance traveled by the ball):

x= x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0m + 9.00 m/s · 1.71 s · cos 33°

x = 12.9 m

Then, your friend will have to run (12.9 m - 11.0 m) 1.9 m to catch the ball 1 m above the ground.

Let´s see, how much time it takes your friend to run that distance:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²      (x0 = 0, v0 = 0)

x = 1/2 · a · t²

1.9 m = 1/2 · 1.80 m/s² · t²

Solving for t

t = 1.45 s

Then, since the time of flight of the ball is 1.71 s, your friend has to wait

1.71 s - 1.45 s = 0.26 s after you throw the ball to start running.

It’s that time of year again when the days are wet and cool.
         The rainy season is the best season.
Rain makes up part of Earth’s water cycle.
Water evaporates from streams, lakes, and oceans, then condensation
   and precipitation occur in the form of rain.
         Precipitation in the form of rain is better than snow.
         Snow this time of year makes people gloomy.
Rain is a great boon to local farmers.
It helps their crops grow.
