Question

a ping pong ball is shot straight north from a popgun at 4.0 m/ s. the wind is blowing to the west at 3.0 m/s. which of the following diagrams best illustrates the actual path of the ping pong ball?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Actual velocity of the ping-pong ball= 5 m/s

Explanation:

velocity of ping pong ball because of the shot gun= 4 m/s North

velocity added to the ping-pong ball due to the wind=3 m/s

These velocities are perpendicular to each other. so we use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant velocity of the ping- pong ball

so the actual velocity of the ping-pong ball =V= √4²+3²

V= √25

V= 5 m/s
