Doug hits a baseball straight towards a 15 ft high fence that is 400 ft from home plate. The ball is hit 2.5ft above the ground

and leaves the bat at an angle of 30∘ with the horizontal. Find the minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence.

Answer:

125.4\ \text{m/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

u = Initial velocity of baseball

\theta = Angle of hit = 30^{\circ}

x = Displacement in x direction = 400 ft

y = Displacement in y direction = 15 ft

y_0 = Height of hit = 2.5 ft

a_y = g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2\ \text{ft/s}^2

t = Time taken

Displacement in x direction

x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}}

Displacement in y direction

y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow y=y_0+u\sin\theta t+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 15=2.5+u\sin30^{\circ}(\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -32.2\times (\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}-12.5=0\\\Rightarrow 218.44=\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{10304000}{3\times218.44}}\\\Rightarrow u=125.4\ \text{m/s}

The minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence is 125.4\ \text{m/s}

write the equation of the line in slope intercept form with the given conditions (slope = 3 and passes through (1,-3))
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Because we have a point and slope, we can use at the beginning the point-slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=3 , x1=1 , y=-3

y-(-3)=3(x-1)

y+3=3x-3      subtract 3 from both sides

y=3x-6    the answer in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
