A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. if the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is the ballâs maximum height? (hint: at the top of its flight, the ballâs vertical velocity component will be zero.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

 Maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

Explanation:

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

         We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

         Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

         In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g [tex]m/s^2[/tex] and final velocity = 0 m/s.

        0 = u sin θ - gt

         t = u sin θ/g

    Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

    So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

  We have equation of motion , [tex]s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex], s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 [tex]m/s^2[/tex] and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

 So range of projectile,  [tex]R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}[/tex]

 Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :

     We have equation of motion, [tex]v^2=u^2+2as[/tex], where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

   Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H

   [tex]0^2=(usin\theta) ^2-2gH\\ \\ H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]

In the give problem we have R = 301.5 m,  θ = 25° we need to find H.

So  [tex]\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=301.5\\ \\ \frac{u^2sin(2*25)}{g}=301.5\\ \\ u^2=393.58g[/tex]

Now we have [tex]H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{393.58*g*sin^2 25}{2g}=35.15m[/tex]

 So maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

The maximum height that can reach by ball is 35.15 m.

Given Here,

R = 301.5m

[tex]\rm \bold\theta = 25^\cdot[/tex]

The vertical motion

[tex]\rm \bold{ v=u +at}[/tex]

Where,

V - final velocity = [tex]\rm \bold{ usin \theta}[/tex]

u- initial velocity = 0 m/s

a- acceleration =[tex]\rm \bold{ -g m/s^2}[/tex]

t - time

put the value

[tex]\rm \bold {t =\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} }[/tex]

The range of projectile motion

[tex]\rm \bold { R = \frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{g} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm u^2 = 393.59 g\\[/tex]

The height

[tex]\bold {H= \frac{u^2 \times sin^2\theta}{2g} }[/tex]

Putting the values in the equation

H = 35.15 m

Hence, we can conclude that the maximum height that can reach by ball is 35.15 m.
