Can the range equationbe used to findthe horizontal distance travelled for a baseballif it is hit at a height of 1 m andcaught at a height of 2.3 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No it can not be. See explanation

Explanation:

- The equation of range takes initial velocity u and angle of initial velocity with the ground Q as inputs and we both of them are not given.

- Even if the equation of motions are used in y-direction we have two unknowns initial velocity y-component and time it takes for the ball to reach the height given and 1 independent equation.

- We have in total of two independent equations and 3 unknowns ( 2 initial velocity components ans time t required for the journey). Hence, the information given is insufficient to model the problem
