You stand17.5 m from a wall holding a baseball. You throw the baseball at the wall at an angle of 20.5∘ from the ground with an
1 answer:
Answer: 8.8 m
Explanation:
The movement of the baseball to the wall is a example of parabolic motion. While the baseball aproach the wall it is affected by gravity.
In this case, because the Initial Velocity of the ball is a vecotr, it can be defined using its two directionals compounds. One, on the Y-axis and another on the X-axis. This can be related, on how a hypotenuse is the product of two legs of the triangle. Because of this, each one of this, can be know using the following equation:
Vx = Vo * cos(∅)
Vy = Vo * sin(∅)
Where Vo is the initial velocity 27.5 m/s, and ∅ is the angle which is 20.5°. So we calculate:
Vx = 27.5m/s * cos(20.5)
Vx = 27.5m/s * 0.936
Vx = 25.74m/s
Vy = 27.5m/s * sin(20.5)
Vy = 27.5m/s * sin(20.5)
Vy = 9.62m/s
Now the movement is divided on two parts, one under the effect of gravity and another one with a constant velocity.
To know how tall does the baseball hit the wall, we need to know first how much time it takes the ball to reach the wall on the X-axis. The wall is 17.5m away, we velocity on Vx that is constant we can calculate as it follow:
Time (T) = Distance (D) / Velocity (V)
Where Distance is 17.5m and our Velocity is the Vx calculated before.
T = 17.5 m / 25.74m/s
T = 0.68s
This is the time it takes the ball to reach the wall.
Know with the time, we can calculate the how tall it got on that time with the following equation:
Where Vo is the Y-Compound of the Initial Velocity.
a is the aceleration, in this case the Gravity. Which, will be negative because is oposing the movement. Gravity is equal to 9.81
And t is the time it takes the ball to get to the wall.
This is the height that the baseball touch the wall.

Answer:
t = 4 s
Explanation:
As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration
So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"
Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance
now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track
so if A and B will meet after time "t"
then in that case
on solving above kinematics equation we have
Answer:
Approximately (assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of
above the horizon.)
Explanation:
Initial vertical component of velocity:
.
The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing is the same as the altitude
at which this projectile was launched:
.
Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is (upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be
(downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:
.
Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be . In other words,
.
Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of would be:
.
Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately .
