A Ball Was Thrown From The Ground At A Speed Of 20 M/S At 30 Deg. Determine The Horizontal And Vertical Displacements Traveled By The Ball At 1.25 S.
A ball was thrown from the ground at a speed of 20 m/s at 30 deg. Determine the horizontal and vertical displacements traveled by the ball at 1.25 s.
Answer:
The horizontal and vertical displacements travelled are approximately at x = 12 m and y = -32.
Explanation:
Given:
= 20 m/s
a = 9.81
θ = 30°
t = 1.25 s
Formula:
For horizontal x-component (): cosθ
For vertical y-component (): sinθ
---------------------------------------------------------
For horizontal displacement (x):
For vertical displacement (y):
Solution:
Horizontal x-component: (20 m/s)(cos 30°)
= 3.085028998 m/s
Vertical y-component: (20 m/s)(sin 30°)
= -19.76063248 m/s
-----------------------------------------------------------
Horizontal displacement:
x = 11.52034875 m
x ≈ 12 m (**NOTE: Positive means to the right.)
Vertical displacement:
y = -32.3648531 m
y ≈ -32 m (**NOTE: Negative means going down.)
