Answer:

B. 44.1

Explanation:

We can use the equation y=1/2gt^2 to find the distance in the vertical direction, where y= distance in the vertical direction, g=acceleration due to gravity, and t=time

we only know acceleration due to gravity(9.8m/s^2),

plug in known variables,

y=1/2*9.8*t^2

we still need to plug in the time variable.

In order to do that, we an use the s=d/t equation and re arrange that formula to get: t=d/s, where t=time, d=distance, and s=speed.

plug in known variables,

t=60/20

t=3

now that we know the time, we can plug that into our original equation

y=1/2*9.8*3^2

simplify,

y=4.9*3^2

y=4.9*9

y=44.1m

Thus, B is your answer

a golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and an angle of 35 degrees. how far did the ball travel before hitti

poizon [28]

Ans: R = Ball Travelled = 92.15 meters.

Explanation:
First we need to derive that formula for the "range" in order to know how far the ball traveled before hitting the ground.

Along x-axis, equation would be:
$x = x_o + v_o_xt + \frac{at^2}{2}$

Since there is no acceleration along x-direction; therefore,
$x = x_o + v_o_xt$

Since $v_o_x = v_ocos \alpha$ and $x_o$ =0; therefore above equation becomes,

$x = v_ocos \alpha t$ --- (A)

Now we need to find "t", and the time is not given. In order to do so, we shall use the y-direction motion equation. Before hitting the ground y ≈ 0 and a = -g; therefore,

=> $y = y_o + v_o_yt - \frac{gt^2}{2}$
=> $t = \frac{2v_o_y}{g}$

Since $v_o_y = sin \alpha$ ; therefore above equation becomes,
$t = \frac{2v_osin \alpha }{g}$

Put the value of t in equation (A):

(A) => $x = v_ocos \alpha \frac{2v_osin \alpha }{g}$

Where x = Range = R, and $2sin \alpha cos \alpha = sin(2 \alpha )$ ; therefore above equation becomes:

=> $R = (v_o)^2 *\frac{sin(2 \alpha )}{g}$

Now, as:
$v_o = 31 m/s$

and $\alpha = 35$ °
and g = 9.8 m/(s^2)

Hence,
$R = (31)^2 *\frac{sin(2 *35 )}{9.8}$

Ans: R = 92.15 meters.
