1.50 m, assuming launch angle of 45º45º

θ = 6.1º θ = 6.1º

yes, the ball lands at 5.3 m from the net

39.

(a) −0.486 m

(b) The larger the muzzle velocity, the smaller the deviation in the vertical direction, because the time of flight would be smaller. Air resistance would have the effect of decreasing the time of flight, therefore increasing the vertical deviation.

No, the maximum range (neglecting air resistance) is about 92 m.

y−y0=0=v0yt−12gt2=( v0sinθ)t−12gt2y−y0=0=v0yt−12gt2=( v0sinθ)t−12gt2,

so that t=2(v0 sin θ)gt=2(v0 sin θ)g

x−x0=v0xt=(v0 cos θ)t=R,x−x0=v0xt=(v0 cos θ)t=R, and substituting for tt gives:

R = v 0 cos θ 2 v 0 sin θ g = 2 v 0 2 sin θ cos θ g R = v 0 cos θ 2 v 0 sin θ g = 2 v 0 2 sin θ cos θ g

since 2sinθcosθ=sin2θ,2sinθcosθ=sin2θ, the range is:

R= v 0 2 sin2θgR= v 0 2 sin2θg.

(a) Since sin 2 50> sin 2 40 sin 2 50> sin 2 40, then B reaches the greatest height.

(b) i. Yes, it is consistent because sin50>sin40 sin50>sin40. ii. No, it does not make sense because y is proportional to sin 2 θ sin 2 θ.

(c)

The figure shows speed (absolute value of v) graphed as a function of position y. The plot of A is linear, with a negative slope, starting at v sub zero A and ending at speed zero. The plot of B is linear, with the same negative slope as that of A, starting at v sub zero B, which is greater than v sub zero A, and ending at speed zero.

We would need to know the horizontal and vertical positions of each ball at several times. From that data, we could deduce the velocities over several time intervals and also the accelerations (both horizontal and vertical) for each ball over several time intervals.

5.

The graph of the ball's vertical velocity over time should begin at 4.90 m/s during the time interval 0 - 0.1 sec (there should be a data point at t = 0.05 sec, v = 4.90 m/s). It should then have a slope of -9.8 m/s2, crossing through v = 0 at t = 0.55 sec and ending at v = -0.98 m/s at t = 0.65 sec.

The graph of the ball's horizontal velocity would be a constant positive value, a flat horizontal line at some positive velocity from t = 0 until t = 0.7 sec.
