Question

A ball is thrown horizontally from a height h of 1.7 m above the ground with velocity u of 22 m s?¹. The situation is illustrated below. Assuming that air resistance can be ignored, what is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball before it hits the ground? Give your answer in m, to two significant figures. (Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, g, to be 9.8 m s?².) The horizontal distance travelled is m (to 2.s.f.).

Step 1

7 = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times t^2 \] \[ t^2 = \frac{1.7 \times 2}{9.8} \] \[ t^2 = 0.3469 \] \[ t = \sqrt{0.3469} \] \[ t \approx 0.5897 \text{ seconds} \] Show more…

A ball is thrown horizontally from a height h of 1.7 m above the ground with velocity u of 22 m s⁻¹. The situation is illustrated below. Assuming that air resistance can be ignored, what is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball before it hits the ground? Give your answer in m, to two significant figures. (Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, g, to be 9.8 m s⁻².) The horizontal distance travelled is (to 2.s.f.).
