Question

A golfer hits a golf ball with a velocity of 36.0 meters/second at an angle of28.0°. If the hang time of the golf ball is 3.44 seconds, what is the range ofthe golf ball? 83 meters 87 meters 108 meters 94 meters

Answer 1

Its 83 i pretty sure :3

Answer 2

108 meters.

Explanation:

A golfer hits a golf ball with a velocity of 36 meter per second of an angle of 28°.

If the ball hangs for 3.44 seconds then we have to find the range.

When a golf ball is hit by the golfer then golf ball follows a parabolic path.

Vertical component of the velocity lifts the ball up in the air and horizontal component moves it in horizontal direction.

Since we have to find the horizontal distance covered by the ball we will consider the horizontal component = ( v cos θ )

= 36 cos 28° = 31.78 meter/second

Now velocity =
`(distance)/(time)`

so 31.78 =
`(S)/(3.44)`

S = 3.44 × 31.78 = 109 meter.

Therefore, nearest answer will be 108 meters.
