A ball is thrown 6ft above the ground at 40mph with a 45 degree angle. The ball is caught 9 feet about the ground.

How far does it go when the ball is caught on the way down?

What is the maximum height?

How far is the ball if it is caught on the way up? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given 

Initial speed of ball, u = 40 mph  = 17.88 m/s

Ball thrown from a height, h = 6ft  = 1.828  m/s

Ball thrown at 45 degree, 

Ball caught at height ,H= 9 feet  = 2.743 m

Distance travel before it get caught on way down, D =?? 

Distance travel before it get caught on way up, 

D2 =??

Maximum height attain , F =???
