A shot putter threw a shot at an angle of 43o above the horizontal from a height of 2.0 m above the ground. The shot traveled 19.0 m horizontally from the launch position. (a) What was the initial speed of the shot when it left the shot putter’s hand? (b) How long was the shot in the air? {13.0 m/s, 2.0 s}
The motion of the shot is projectile motion.Here we consider the horizontal and vertical components of velocities and using given values we can show required velocity and time.
