A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.8 m/s at an angle of 23 SE from the window. It hits the ground 5s later. (A) how far horizontally from the building does the ball land on the ground? (B) find the height that the ball was thrown from

Answer:

a)40.5m

b)139.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering downward as 'positive' y-direction

[tex]x_i=0\\y_i=0\\v_i=8.8m/s\\a_x=0\\a_y=g\\\theta = 23\degree\\t=5s[/tex]

First is to resolve initial velocity into x and y component:

[tex]v_x_i=v_icos\theta = 8.8 \times cos(23)= 8.1m/s\\v_y_i=v_isin\theta = 8.8 \times sin(23)= 3.4m/s\\[/tex]

a) in order to find horizontal position of the ball:

[tex]x_f=x_i+v_x_it+\frac{1}{2} a_xt^2[/tex]

[tex]x_f= 8.1\times5=40.5m[/tex]

b) To find the height that the ball was thrown from(vertical position):

[tex]y_f=y_i+v_y_it+\frac{1}{2} a_yt^2\\y_f=(3.4\times 5)+(\frac{1}{2} \times9.8\times5^2)\\y_f=139.5m[/tex]
