Now let’s consider a projectile problem in which the initial velocity is specified in terms of a magnitude and an angle. Suppose a home-run baseball is hit with an initial speed V0= 37.0 m/s V0= 37.0 m/s at an initial angle θ0=53.1∘θ0=53.1∘. (a) Find the ball’s position, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, when t= 2.00 s t= 2.00 s. (b) Find the time the ball reaches the highest point of its flight, and find its height H at that point. (c) Find the horizontal range R (the horizontal distance from the starting point to the point where the ball hits the ground).
Express your answer in meters to three significant figures.
A) If the ball could continue to travel below its original level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04 s would be possible. Compute the x-component of the ball's position 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
B) Compute the y-component of the ball's position 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
C) Compute the x-component of the ball's velocity 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
D) Compute the y-component of the ball's velocity 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
