A baseball is hit at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above ground level 3.0 s after being hit. Then 2.5 s after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears a fence that is 97.5 m from where it was hit. Assume the ground is level. (a) What maximum height above ground level is reached by the ball? (b) How high is the fence? (c) How far beyond the fence does the ball strike the ground?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part a)

[tex]H = 44.1 m[/tex]

Part b)

[tex]y = 13.48 m[/tex]

Part c)

[tex]d = 8.86 m[/tex]

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

[tex]t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}[/tex]

now we have

[tex]3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}[/tex]

[tex]v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s[/tex]

Now maximum height above ground is given as

[tex]H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]

[tex]H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}[/tex]

[tex]H = 44.1 m[/tex]

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

[tex]y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

[tex]y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)[/tex]

[tex]y = 13.48 m[/tex]

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

[tex]x = v_x t[/tex]

[tex]97.5 = v_x (5.5)[/tex]

[tex]v_x = 17.72 m/s[/tex]

now total time of flight is given as

[tex]T = 3 + 3 = 6 s[/tex]

so range is given as

[tex]R = v_x T[/tex]

[tex]R = (17.72)(6)[/tex]

[tex]R = 106.4 m[/tex]

so the distance from the fence is given as

[tex]d = 106.4 - 97.5[/tex]

[tex]d = 8.86 m[/tex]
