please help!!

a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 95 ft/sec at an angle 25 degrees above the ground from a height of 6 ft. approximately how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground? acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s^2.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.65sec

Step-by-step explanation:

h=v sin25 *t -1/2g t^2

-6=95 sin25 * t+1/2*32 t^2

t=2.65 sec

Using velocity and acceleration, the time taken for the ball to hit the ground is 2.65seconds.

What is velocity?

Velocity is a vector quantity "the rate at which an object changes its position".

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the "rate at which velocity changes with time".

According to the question,

A ball is thrown with velocity 95 feet/sec at an angle 25° above the ground from the height of 6 feet. Acceleration due to the gravity is 32 feet/s².

In order to find the time taken by the ball to hit the ground:

To calculate rise time:

Velocity at the time zero (V₀) = velocity × sin 25°

= 95 × 0.4226

= 40.1 feet per second

velocity = velocity at time of zero + gravity × Time at zero(T₀)

            =  40.1 + (-32)(T₀)

      T₀  =  [tex]\frac{40.1}{32}[/tex]

      T₀  = 1.25 seconds

To calculate height:  velocity = (V₀)² + 2 × gravity × height.

= (40.1)² + (2 × 32 × height)

Height = 25.1 feet.

maximum height = 6 + 25.1 = 31.5 feet

16 (time)² = 31.5

Time at falling (T₁) = 1.40 seconds

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground = T₀ + T₁ =  1.25 + 1.40

= 2.65 seconds.

Hence, the time taken by the ball to reach the ground is 2.65 seconds.
