Q4 2. A ball is launched with an initial velocity of
Vo = 4.5 m/s from point P at a 30° sloped surface with
an angle of 0. The ball lands at point B, which is 0.6
m higher than point A. Determine the launch angle 0
of the ball, the impact velocity at B (vB), the angle vg
makes with the horizontal and the duration of the
flight. Also determine the radius of curvature of the
path and the rate of change of the speed of the ball at
point C, where its trajectory makes an angle of 60°
with the negative x-axis. g 9.81 m/s-.
