Answer:
1.65 m
Explanation:
The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, so it is a parabolic motion with two independent motions:
- on the x-axis, a uniform motion with constant speed
- on the y-axis, a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration downward.
First of all, we need to find the time t at which the ball has travelled halfway to the chatcher, i.e. at a distance of . This can be found by using the relationship between distance, time and velocity along the horizontal direction:
So now we can move to the vertical motion, and we can calculate the distance covered vertically by the ball while falling for t=0.58 s, by using:
