The answer is
C. They have all ready achieved high levels of cardio respiratory fitness.
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,
Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.
v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s
Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2
Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds
Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m
Answer:
a) 1.22 s
b) 9.089 m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds

The maximum height the ball will reach above the ground is 1.75+7.339 = 9.089 m
Answer:
Explanation:
T = 2π
(T / 2π)² = L/g
g = 4π²L/T²
g = 4π²(0.75000)/(1.7357)²
g = 9.82814766...
g = 9.8281 m/s²
