(a) The horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s initial velocity is 37.8 m/s and 12.14 m/s respectively.
(b) The maximum height above the ground reached by the ball is 8.6 m.
(c) The distance off course the ball would be carried is 0.38 m.
(d) The ball's velocity after 2.0 seconds if there is no crosswind is 38.53 m/s.
<h3>Horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity</h3>Vx = Vcosθ
Vx = 39.7 x cos(17.8)
Vx = 37.8 m/s
Vy = Vsin(θ)
Vy = 39.7 x sin(17.8)
Vy = 12.14 m/s
<h3>Maximum height reached by the ball</h3>Maximum height above ground = 7.51 + 1.09 = 8.6 m
<h3>Distance off course after 2 second </h3>Upward speed of the ball after 2 seconds, V = V₀y - gt
Vy = 12.14 - (2x 9.8)
Vy = - 7.46 m/s
Horizontal velocity will be constant = 37.8 m/s
Resultant speed of the ball after 2 seconds = √(Vy² + Vx²)
d = Δvt = (38.72 - 38.53) x 2
d = 0.38 m
The ball's velocity after 2.0 seconds if there is no crosswind is 38.53 m/s.
