••38 A golf ball is struck at ground level. The speed of the golf ball as a function of the time is shown in Fig. 4-36, where t = 0 at the instant the ball is struck. The scaling on the vertical axis is set by v_a = 19 m/s and v_b = 31 m/s. (a) How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before returning to ground level? (b) What is the maximum height above ground level attained by the ball?

Step 1
First, we need to find the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity. From the given information, we know that the horizontal component of the velocity is 19 m/s and the vertical component is 31 m/s. Show more…

A golf ball is struck at ground level. The speed of the golf ball as a function of the time is shown in the figure, where t = 0 at the instant the ball is struck. The scaling on the vertical axis is set by va= 20 m/s and vb= 31.6 m/s. (a) How far does the golf ball travel horizontally before returning to ground level? (b) What is the maximum height above ground level attained by the ball?
