Question

b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 2.50 m/s. What distance in meters does the ball travel horizontally

Answer 1

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 0.64 m.

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u =2.5m/s

The maximum horizontal distance is

$R = \frac{u^2}{2g}\\\\R = \frac{2.5\times 2.5}{9.8}\\\\R = 0.64 m$
