Question

Problem 1: A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves her racquet with a speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 5 degrees above the horizontal. The horizontal distance to the net is 7 m and the net is 1 m high. Does the ball clear the net? If so, by how much? If not, by how much does it miss?

Name: problem 1 a tennis player hits a ball 20 m above the ground the ball leaves her racquet with a speed of 200 ms at an angle of 5 degrees above the horizontal the horizontal distance to the ne 32777

Step 1

We can use the horizontal component of the initial velocity to do this. The horizontal component of the initial velocity is given by Vx = V * cos(θ), where V is the initial velocity and θ is the angle above the horizontal. Show more…
