Answer:
Probability of tunneling is 
Solution:
As per the question:
Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s
Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg
Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm = 
Max velocity of the tennis ball,
= 89 m/s
Now,
The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:

Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' = 
Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:


Thus



Now,
We can calculate the tunneling probability as:



Taking log on both the sides:


The correct answer to the question is : A) Tossing it horizontally at a faster speed.
EXPLANATION:
Before going to answer this question, first we have to know the horizontal distance covered by any body when it is fired parallel to the ground.
Let us consider a body of mass m is fired with velocity u parallel to the ground. Let it was projected at a height h from the ground.
Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is calculated as -
Horizontal distance R =
.
Here, g is known as the acceleration due to gravity.
From above, we see that more is the initial velocity, the more is the horizontal distance covered by it i.e the more is the widest curved path.
Hence, the correct answer to the question is that tossing a ball horizontally at a faster speed will trace out the widest curved path.
Answer:
15.6m/s
Explanation:
V1=
because the derivate of the position is the velocity
V1=12t+3
V2=20+
-8t because the integral of the acceleration is the velocity
V2=
V1=V2 to see when the velocities of particles match
12t+3=20-4t^2
4t^2+12t-17=0 we resolve this with 
and we take the positif root
t=1.05 sec
if we evaluate the velocity (V1 or V2) the result is 15.6m/s
