A ball is shot at an angle of 45 degrees into the air with initial velocity of 46 ft/sec. Assuming no air resistance, how high does it go

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.02 m

Explanation:

Applying the formula of maximum height of a projectile,

H = U²sin²Ф/2g...................... Equation 1

Where H = maximum height, U = initial velocity, Ф = angle, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: U = 46 ft/sec = 14.021 m/s, Ф = 45°

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

H = (14.021)²sin²45/(2×9.8)

H = 196.5884×0.5/19.6

H = 5.02 m.

Hence the ball goes 5.02 m high

The ball reaches the maximum height of 54 feet

The question is about projectile motion,

the ball is shot at an angle α = 45°, and

the initial velocity u = 46 ft/s.

Under the projectile motion, the maximum height H is given by:

[tex]H=\frac{u^2sin^2\alpha }{2g} [/tex]

where, g = 9.8 m/s²

substituting the given values we get:

[tex]H=\frac{46^2sin^{2}(45)}{2*9.8}\\ \\ H=\frac{46*46*(1/2)}{2*9.8}\\ \\ H=54 feet[/tex]

Hence, the maximum height is 54 feet.
