Answer:
d = 9.4 m
Explanation:
As we know that the golfer hits the ball with speed 40 m/s at an angle of 50 degree
so here we will have range of the ball on the ground is given as
[tex]R = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta}{g}[/tex]
so we will have
[tex]R = \frac{40^2 sin(2\times 50)}{9.81}[/tex]
[tex]R = 160.6 m[/tex]
So it will land at distance of 160.6 m
so the distance from the hole is given as
[tex]d = 170 - 160.6[/tex]
[tex]d = 9.4 m[/tex]
