Serving at a speed of 164 km/h, a tennis player hits the ball at a height of 2.23 m and an angle θ below the horizontal. The ser

vice line is 11.6 m from the net, which is 0.99 m high. What is the angle θ in degrees such that the ball just crosses the net? Give a positive value for the angle.

Answer:

The angle θ is 6.1° below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the situation.

The vector "r" gives the position of the ball and can be expressed as the sum of the vectors rx + ry (see figure).

We know the magnitude of these vectors:

magnitude rx = 11.6 m

magnitude ry = 2.23 m - 0.99 m = 1.24 m

Then:

rx = (11. 6 m, 0)

ry = (0, -1.24 m)

r = (11.6 m + 0 m, 0 m - 1.24 m) = (11.6 m, -1.24 m)

Using trigonometry of right triangles:

magnitude rx = r * cos θ = 11. 6 m

magnitude ry = r * sin θ = 2.23 m - 0.99 = 1.24 m

where r is the magnitude of the vector r

magnitude of vector r:

r = \sqrt{(11.6m)^{2} + (1.24m)^{2}} = 11.667m

Then:

cos θ = 11.6 m / 11.667 m

θ = 6.1°

Using ry, we should obtain the same value of θ:

sin θ = 1.24 m/ 11.667 m

θ = 6.1°

( the exact value is obtained if we do not round the module of r)

Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?
Radda [10]
Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.
