Given that,
Height =1.5 m
Angle = 45°
We need to find the greater speed of the ball
Using conservation of energy
[tex]P.E_{i}+K.E_{f}=P.E_{f}+K.E_{f}[/tex]
[tex]mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2[/tex]
Here, initial velocity and final potential energy is zero.
[tex]mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]9.8\times1.5=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{f}^2[/tex]
[tex]v_{f}^2=2\times9.8\times1.5[/tex]
[tex]v_{f}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.5}[/tex]
[tex]v_{f}=5.42\ m/s[/tex]
Hence, the greater speed of the ball is 5.42 m/s.
