Velocity of ball during landing.
Answer to Problem 70A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial speed of ball,
Ball is caught at same height at which it was hit.
Formula Used:
The equation of motion,
Where,
Calculation:
Under gravity,
As ball is caught at same height at which it was hit. Therefore, the net displacement is zero i.e.
So,
It means the final velocity is same as initial velocity in magnitude.
When the catcher catches the ball, the direction will be downward.
Hence,
So,
Conclusion:
Velocity of ball when it lands in the catcher’s mitt is
