Answer:

0.83 m/s

Explanation:

FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.8)}{9.8}}=0.61 s

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is

d = 0.5 m

Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

v= \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.60}=0.83 m/s

Projectile Motion: A hobbyist launches a projectile from ground level on a horizontal plain. It reaches a maximum height of 72.3
marin [14]

Answer:

The angle of launch from the horizontal direction is 20.99° .

Explanation:

Let u and θ be the initial speed and angle of projection from the horizontal axis of the object respectively.

The equations for projectile motion are :

H = ( u² sin²θ)/ 2g      ......(1)

Here H is maximum height of the projectile motion and g is acceleration due to gravity.

R = ( u² sin2θ)/g         .......(2)

Here R is the maximum horizontal displacement of the object.

Rearrange equation (1) in terms of u².

u² = (2gH)/sin²θ

Substitute this equation in equation (2).

R = (2gH sin2θ) / (sin²θ x g)

R = (2H sin2θ)/sin²θ

Using trigonometry property, sin2θ = 2 cosθ sinθ

So, above equation becomes,

R = (2H x 2 cosθ sinθ)/sin²θ

R = (4H cosθ)/sinθ

tanθ = R/4H

θ = tan⁻¹(R/4H)

Substitute 111 m for R and 72.3 m for H in the above equation.

θ = tan⁻¹( 111/ 4 x 72.3 )

θ = tan⁻¹(0.38)

θ = 20.99°
