Answer on Question #45287 - Physics - Mechanics | Kinematics | Dynamics
a batter hits a ball so that it lifts the bat at speed of 30m\s at angle 53.1 degree.find the position and velocity of ball at T=2 sec
Solution:
V0=30sm− initial velocity of the ball;
α=53.1∘−angle of projection;
T=2s - travelling time;
V1 - final velocity of the ball;
x1 - final horizontal position of the ball;
y1 - final vertical position of the ball;

From the right triangle ABC:
Vx0=V0⋅cosα;Vy0=V0⋅sinα
Equation of motion of the ball along the X-axis:
x1=Vx0Tcosα=30sm⋅2s⋅cos53.1∘=36m
Equations of motion along the Y-axis:
y1=Vy0T−2gT2=30sm⋅2s⋅sin53.1∘−9.8s2m⋅21⋅(2s)2=28.4m
Rate equation for the horizontal component of the final velocity:
V1y=V0y−gT=V0⋅sinα−gT=30sm⋅sin53.1∘−9.8s2m⋅2s=4.4smV1x=V0x, because horizontal acceleration is zero.
The final velocity of the ball by the Pythagorean theorem:
V1=V1x2+V1y2=(4.4sm)2+(30sm⋅cos53.1∘)2=18.5sm
Answer: position of the ball: horizontal: 36m, vertical: 28.4m; final velocity: 18.5sm.
