Question
If the ping pong ball launcher is angled at 45 degrees and the distance it travels is 1.2 m. What would be the height it reaches? What time does it touch the ground? Please use this equation. Vic and Vy1 show in an explanation below
These components
are displaced with distinct velocities due to the acceleration they experience. The ball
undergoes type 3 projectile motion since it travels under the influence of gravity, it ejects at
an angle of 8 degrees above the ground, and has an elevation of 0.491 m when launched.
To find the initial velocity of the ball, the velocity vector must be broken down into Vx and
Vy1. In this case, Vx = V cos8 and Vyl
= V Sin8. Given that the maximum distance is 4m,
the time of flight would be equal to 4/ v Cos8 in the horizontal direction. The time interval
would
be substituted into
height + Vylt + 1/2 at - given
10m, and a = -9.8m/s. After solving for V, the ball initially
travels with a velocity of 8.71 m/s @ 8. The horizontal velocity is 8.63 m/s [8.71cos8] and

since the range is 4m, the time of flight is 0.463 seconds. The maximum height of the

After calculations, the maximum height of the projectile is 0.566m. Finally, the impact
= 0.491 m and a = -9.8 m/s - using the formula hmax =

given that
9.8 m/s and d =-0.491m. After calculations, vy2 = 3.33 m/s

To find the impact velocity, the horizontal and vertical components of velocity must be
added [V impact =

a diagram of the projectile motion.
