Question

PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical nd horizontal components of velocity are 50 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively. Use a motion diagram to estimate the ball's total time of flight and the distance it traverses before hitting the ground. (Use 10 m/s2 as the acceleration of gravity.) Time Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations.s Distance Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED M STUCK A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical and horizontal components of velocity are 50 m/s and 15 m/s respectively. Estimate the maximum height the ball reaches. (Use 10 m/s2 as the acceleration of gravity.) You should use the given diagram as a scale drawing of the actual motion of the ball. What is the scale? In other words, what distance is represented by each box in the diagram? m Need Help? Read It Submit Answer Save Progress Practice Another Version

Explanation / Answer

Practise It

time of flight is T = 2*Voy/g = (2*50)/10 = 10 sec

distance travelled is d = Vox*T = 15*10= 150 m

Exercise :

Maximum height is Hmax = Voy^2/(2*g) = 50^2/(2*10) = 125 m
