A ball is thrown horizontally from a point

Question:

A ball is thrown horizontally from a point $100 \mathrm{~m}$ above the ground with a speed of $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ Find

(a) The time it takes to reach the ground

(b) The horizontal distance it travels before reaching the ground

(c) The velocity (direction and magnitude) with which it strikes the ground.

Solution:

$x$-axis $y$-axis

$u_{x}=20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} u_{y}=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

$a_{x}=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} a_{y}=\mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\mathrm{v}=49 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ at $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{44.1}{20}\right)$ that is $66^{\circ}$ from ground
