38.2 m/s
5.50 m
50.0°
A golfer hits an approach shot with a velocity of 38.2 m/s at 50 degrees above the horizontal.
The golf ball lands directly next to the hole, 5.50 m above the ball's original position, and stops
immediately.
8. How long was the ball in the air?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given that,
The speed of a golfer, v = 38.2 m/s
It shot at an angle of 50 degrees above the horizontal.
The golf land directly next to the hole 5.5 m above the ball's original position.
We need to find the time for the ball in the air. We can use the second equation of kinematics to find it.
Where
is the vertical component of velocity
a = acceleration, a = -g (acceleration due to gravity)
