Two friends are playing golf. The first friend hits a golf ball on level ground with an initial speed of 43.5 m/s at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal

. (a) Assuming that the ball lands at the same height from which it was hit, how far away from the golfer, in meters, does it land? Ignore air resistance.

(b) The second friend hits his golf ball with the same initial speed as the first, but the initial velocity of the ball makes an angle with horizontal that is greater than 45.0°. The second ball, however, travels the same horizontal distance as the first, and it too lands at the same height from which it was hit. What was the angle in degrees above horizontal of the initial velocity of this second golf ball? Ignore air resistance. ° above the horizontal

At a flat gold course, a golfer hits a golf from the ground. The velocity of the bal immediely after being hit is 18.5 m/s at a derection of 38.0 degrees above the orizontal. The ball reaches the highest point of its projectile motion, and later, during the downward part of its motion the ball hits a branch of a tree. The branch is 3.00 m above the ground.

While playing basketball, a batter hits the ball as it crosses home plate and gives it an initial velocity of 45m/s and launches it an angle of 19 degree above the horizontal (x-axis). The outfield wall is located 115m away from the home plate and is 3m high. The batter hits the ball when it is 1m above home pate. Part A: Find the equation describing the position and velocity of the ball as function of the Part B: Does...

A man is playing tennis game. He hits a stationary ball of mass 50 g with his racquet. Interpret the energy conversions taking place when he hits ball with racquet. The average force acting on it is 600 N, so that the ball moves with a velocity of 60 m/s .Can you predict the time of hit of the ball when it leaves the racquet using given data? How can you find the change in kinetic energy of moving ball?...

A tennis ball is it at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above the ground level 1 sec. after being hit. Then 0.9 seconds after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears the net that is 3 m from where the tennis ball was hit. Assume the ground is level. How high is the net?  How far beyond the net does the tennis ball strike the ground?
