Transcribed Image Text:< Chapter 3, Problem 85P
Given information:
The player kicks the ball 28 m on a level ground with its initial
velocity at 40° to the horizontal.
Calculation:
The trajectory intercepts a 15° slope.
Sketch the path of the trajectory and the slope as shown in Figure 1.
Trajectory
Slope
15°
Figure 1
Let the initial velocity be vo and the initial angle be 0.
The value of 0 = 40°.
The trajectory of the ball intersects an angle of 01
= 15° is
expressed as, y = x tan (01).
The expression for horizontal distance the player kicks the ball
with a slope of 15° (x) is shown below:
tan(6)–tan(4)) (1)
x = 2vcos? (0)
X =
Here, gis the acceleration due to gravity.
The ball on the level ground is xf = 28 m.
