Answer:

a) $v_{o} =16m/s$

b) $v=9.8m/s$

c) $\beta =-35.46º$

Explanation:

According to the problem, the distance from the building where the ball hits is 16m, and its final elevation exceeds the initial height by 8m.

With this information, we can compute the ball’s starting speed.

a) Let's first assess the horizontal trajectory.

$x=v_{ox}t$

$x=v_{o}cos(60)t$

$v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(60)}=\frac{16m}{tcos(60)}$ (1)

This gives us our initial equation.

Next, we need to examine the vertical trajectory.

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y_{o}+8=y_{o}+v_{o}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

Utilizing $v_{o}$ in our first equation (1)

$8=\frac{16}{tcos(60)}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=16tan(60)-8$

Now let’s solve for t.

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(16tan(60)-8)}{9.8} } =2s$

The ball takes two seconds to reach the adjacent building, allowing us to compute its initial speed.

$v_{o}=\frac{16m}{(2s)cos(60)}=16m/s$

b) To determine the velocity magnitude just before impact, we must calculate both x and y components.

$v_{x}=v_{ox}+at=16cos(60)=8m/s$

$v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt=16sin(60)-(9.8)(2)=-5.7m/s$

The computed velocity magnitude is:

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(8m/s)^2+(-5.7m/s)^2}=9.8m/s$

c) The ball's angle is:

$\beta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.7}{8})=-35.46º$

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided:

mass of the steel ball $m=0.2\ kg$

initial velocity of the ball $u=10\ m/s$

Final velocity of the ball $v=-10\ m/s$ (moving upwards)

The impulse given is determined by the change in the momentum of the object.

<ptherefore the="" impulse="" j="" is="" defined="" by="">

$J=\Delta P$

$\Delta P=m(v-u)$

$\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)$

$\Delta =-4\ N-s$

Thus, the magnitude of the Impulse is 4 N-s.

</ptherefore>
