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:
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,
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):
The acceleration of an object in free fall is
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that:
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
For the object in this problem, we have:
m = 9.9 kg is its mass
F = 97.02 N is the net force on the object
So, we can rearrange the equation to find its acceleration:
This value is actually known as acceleration of gravity (g), and it is the acceleration that any object in free fall has near the Earth's surface, regardless of its mass.
