a golfer hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 250.00 ft/s at an angle of 25° with the horizontal. knowing that the fairway slopes downward at an average angle of 5°, determine the distance d between the golfer and point b where the ball first lands.

Respuesta :

The distance d between the golfer and point b where the ball first lands is 4933.17 ft

Initial velocity = 250.0ft/s

Launch angle ([tex]\theta[/tex]        )= 25°

slope angle([tex]\phi[/tex]) = 5°

Let d is the distance on the slope after which projectile lands

horizontal distance covered by projectile

x = dcos[tex]\theta[/tex]

Vertical distance covered by projectile

y = dsin[tex]\theta[/tex]

now Considering horizontal motion

Initial horizontal velocity [tex]v_{x} = v cos25[/tex]

then position after time t

d cos5 = 250cos25×t

d = 227.44t          ---------1.

when we consider vertical motion then

Initial vertical velocity [tex]v_{y} = v sin25[/tex]

[tex]v_{y} = v sin\theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}[/tex]

-d sin5 = 250 sin25.t - gt²/2

-d = 1212.25t - 56.221 t²

1212.25t - 56.221 t² + d = 0         ----2

put value of d in equation 2

1212.25t - 56.221t² + 227.44t =0

t(1212.25+227.44 - 56.221 t) =0

t(1234.69 - 56.221 t) = 0

t = 21.96 ,t≠0

substitute the value of t in equation 1

d = 227.44t    

d = 227.44×21.96

d = 4933.17 ft

The distance d between the golfer and point b where the ball first lands is  4933.17 ft
