A machine launches a tennis ball at an angle of 45° with the horizontal, as
shown. The ball has an initial vertical velocity of 9.0 meters per second and an initial
horizontal velocity of 9.0 meters per second. The ball reaches its maximum height
0.p2 second after its launch. [Neglect air resistance and assume the ball lands at the
same height above the ground from which it was launched.]

The total horizontal distance traveled by the tennis ball during the entire time it is in the air is

Respuesta :

The motion or path of the tennis ball is the path of a projectile, which has

both vertical and horizontal motion.

The total horizontal distance traveled by the tennis ball during the entire

time it is in the air ≈ 16.514 meters.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The direction in which the ball is launched = 45°

The initial vertical velocity of the ball, [tex]v_y[/tex] = 9.0 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity of the ball, vₓ = 9.0 m/s

The time it takes the ball to reach the maximum height, t = 0.92 seconds after its launch

The total horizontal distance traveled, by the tennis ball is given by the formula;

[tex]\Delta d_x = \dfrac{v_1^2 \cdot \left( 2 \cdot cos(\theta) \sin(\theta)}{y} = \dfrac{2 \times v_x \times v_y}{g}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\mathrm{The \ total \ distance \ travelled, \ \Delta} d_x = \dfrac{2 \times 9.0\times 9.0}{9.81} \approx 16.514[/tex]

The total horizontal distance traveled by the tennis ≈ 16.514 meters
