A golf ball, thrown upwards, rises at a speed of v metres per second.
The ball reaches a maximum height of h metres.
h is proportional to the square of v.
When v = 20, h = 8
Work out the maximum height reached by the golf ball when v = 35

Respuesta :

Answer:24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

H=KV²

8=K×20²(400)

=8/400

=0.02

H=0.02×35²

=24.5

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the golf ball when v = 35 is 24.5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A golf ball, thrown upwards, rises at a speed of v metres per second. The ball reaches a maximum height of h metres.  h is proportional to the square of v.  When v = 20, h = 8.

To find : Work out the maximum height reached by the golf ball when v = 35 ?

Solution :

h is proportional to the square of v i.e. [tex]h\propto v^2[/tex]

[tex]h=kv^2[/tex]

Where, k is the constant of proportionality

When v = 20, h = 8,

[tex]8=k(20)^2[/tex]

[tex]8=400k[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{8}{400}[/tex]

[tex]k=0.02[/tex]

The equation became [tex]h=0.02v^2[/tex].

Now, when v = 35 the value of h is

[tex]h=0.02(35)^2[/tex]

[tex]h=0.02\times 1225[/tex]

[tex]h=24.5[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the golf ball when v = 35 is 24.5 meters.
