Jason Kendall throws a baseball with a horizontal component of velocity of 25 m/s. It takes 3.00s to come back to its original height. Calculate its horizontal range, its initial vertical component of velocity and its initial angle of projection.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 25 m/s

Time = 3.00 sec

(I). We need to calculate the horizontal range

Using formula of range

[tex]R=v\times t[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]R=25\times3.00[/tex]

[tex]R=75\ m[/tex]

The horizontal range is 75 m.

(II). We need to calculate the initial vertical component of velocity

Using equation of motion

[tex]v=u+gt[/tex]

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

[tex]0=u-9.8\times1.5[/tex]

[tex]u=14.7\ m/s[/tex]

The initial vertical component of velocity is 14.7 m/s.

(III). We need to calculate the initial angle of projection

Using formula of angle

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{vertical\ velocity}{horizontal\ velocity}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{14.7}{25}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=30.45^{\circ}[/tex]

The initial angle of projection is 30.45°.

Hence, This is the required solution.
