Answer:
The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s
Explanation:
This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:
----------------------(1)
---------(2)
----------------------- (3)
Where:
x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball
is the golf ball's initial velocity
is the angle (it was a horizontal shot)
t is the time
y is the final height of the ball
is the initial height of the ball
g is the acceleration due gravity
V is the final velocity of the ball
Step 1: finding t
Let use the equation(2)
s
Substituting (6) in (1):
-------------------(4)
Step 2: Finding :
From equation(4)
m/s (8)
Substituting in (3):
v =42 .01 - 15.3566
V=26.359 m/s
