It's initial trajectory is at an angle of ø = 50° above the horizon and has a speed of u = 45 m s-1. The ball lands away from the initial position at a location 7.5m higher from where it was originally kicked. If air resistance is neglected and gravity is taken to be 9.8 m s-2, what is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the football at the instant it lands?arrow_forward

- A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo = 91 ft/sec directly toward fielder B at an angle of 38° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.4 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 0.24 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.9 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

Ignore air resistance. (This is very unrealistic.) The initial speed is v0 = 23.7 m/s, and the angle the ball is hit at is θ = 46o. Calculate vx0, the initial horizontal component of velocity (in m/s). What equations describe the trajectory of the golf ball?arrow_forward
