Question

A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of $22^\circ$ to the horizontal that travels 104 yd before striking the ground. He then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 104 yd. At what angle was the second ball hit? (Neglect air resistance.)

Step 1

Step 1: The range of a projectile is given by the equation: $$R = \frac{v_0^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$$ where $R$ is the range, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the launch angle, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of 22° to the horizontal that travels 104 yd before striking the ground. He then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 104 yd. At what angle was the second ball hit? (Neglect air resistance.)
