A quarterback claims that he can throw the football a horizontal distance of 167 m. Furthermore, he claims that he can do this b

y launching the ball at the relatively low angle of 33.1 ° above the horizontal. To evaluate this claim, determine the speed with which this quarterback must throw the ball. Assume that the ball is launched and caught at the same vertical level and that air resistance can be ignored. For comparison a baseball pitcher who can accurately throw a fastball at 45 m/s (100 mph) would be considered exceptional.

Answer:u=42.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal distance=167 m

launch angle=33.1^{\circ}

Let u be the initial speed of ball

Range=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

167=\frac{u^2\sin (66.2)}{9.8}

u^2=1788.71

u=\sqrt{1788.71}

u=42.29 m/s

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?
babunello [35]
Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.
