Answer:
The second ball must be thrown at 30.01 m/s.
Explanation:
First, we need to find the maximum height (H) reached by the ball 1:
[tex] v_{f_{1}}^{2} = v_{0_{1}}^{2} - 2gH [/tex]
Where:
[tex]v_{f_{1}}[/tex]: is the final speed of ball 1 = 0 (at the maximum height)
[tex]v_{0_{1}}[/tex]: is the initial speed of ball 1
g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
We need to find the initial speed, by using the following equation:
[tex] v_{f_{1}} = v_{0_{1}} - gt [/tex]
Where t is the time = 1.71 s (when it reaches the maximum height)
[tex] v_{0_{1}} = gt = 9.81 m/s^{2}*1.71 s = 16.78 m/s [/tex]
So, the maximum height is:
[tex] H = \frac{v_{0_{1}}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(16.78 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 14.35 m [/tex]
Finally, the speed at which ball 2 must be thrown is:
[tex]v_{f_{2y}}^{2} = (v_{0_{2y}}sin(\theta)})^{2} - 2gH[/tex]
[tex]v_{0_{2y}}= \frac{\sqrt{2gH}}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{\sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*14.35 m}}{sin(34)} = 30.01 m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the second ball must be thrown at 30.01 m/s.
I hope it helps you!
