Question

A ball is thrown at 20 m/s from the ground upwards at an angle of elevation of 30°. How far away does it land? 35.35 m

Answer 1

Answer:

35.35 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 30°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Range (R) =.?

The range (i.e how far away) of the ball can be obtained as follow:

R = u² Sine 2θ /g

R = 20² Sine (2×30) / 9.8

R = 400 Sine 60 / 9.8

R = (400 × 0866) / 9.8

R = 346.4 / 9.8

R = 35.35 m

Therefore, the range (i.e how far away) of the ball is 35.35 m
