a baseball player picks up a ball from the back of the field and throws it towards home plate with a speed of 47.9m/s at an agngle of 32.1 degrees above the horizontal. How far does it go before its caught by another player

Respuesta :

The distance traveled by the plate before it was caught by another player is 210.71 m.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the plate, u = 47.9 m/s
  • angle of projection, = 32.1 degrees

The distance traveled by the plate before it was caught by another player is the range of the projectile.

The range of projectile is influenced by;

  • angle of projectile
  • initial velocity

[tex]R = \frac{u^2 sin(2\theta)}{g} \\\\R = \frac{47.9^2 \times sin(2\times 32.1)}{9.8} \\\\R = 210.71 \ m[/tex]

Thus, the distance traveled by the plate before it was caught by another player is 210.71 m.
