A major leaguer hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat at a speed of 30 m/sand at an angle of36.9above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance. (a) At what two times is the baseball at a height of 10 mabove the point at which it left the bat? (b) Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the baseball鈥檚 velocity at each of the two times calculated in part (a). (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the baseball鈥檚 velocity when it returns to the level at which it left the bat?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The two times for ball to elapse is 2.991 s and 0.683 s.

b) The horizontal component of velocity is not change and vertical component of the velocity at t1is 11.3 m/s , and vertical component of velocity at t2is localid="1665050555773" -11.3m/s.

c) The velocity of the ball when it returns is 30 m/s and the direction of the velocity of the ball is downwards in horizontal direction at the angle of -36.9.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The speed of the bat is, v0=30m/s.
  • The angle at which ball hit is, =36.9.
  • The height gain by baseball is, h=10m.

Concept/Significance of projectile.

Any item that is given an initial velocity and subsequently pursues a route wholly defined by gravitational acceleration is referred to as a projectile.

03

(a) Determination of two times is the baseball at a height of above the point at which it left the bat.

The displacement of the ball is given by,

y=v0yt+12ayt2

Here,v0yis the vertical component of velocity whose value is localid="1665050739836" v0sin,tis the elapsed time,ayis the acceleration in vertical direction whose value is -g.

Substitute all the values in the above,

localid="1667625710908" y=v0蝉颈苍胃t-12gt210m=30m/ssin36.9t-129.8m/s2t20=4.90m/st2-18m/st+10mt=19.8+[18-182-44.9010]s=1.8371.154s

From above solution there are two solutions for elapsed time which is given by,

t1=1.837+1.154s=2.991s

And

t2=1.837-1.154s=0.683s

Thus, the two times for ball to elapse is 2.991 s and 0.683 s .

(b)Determination of the horizontal and vertical components of the baseball’s velocity at each of the two times calculated in part (a).

The horizontal component of velocity is constant and unchanged because during the entire motion of the ball the acceleration is zero.

So, the horizontal component of the velocity of the baseball is given by,

v0x=v0cos

Substitute all the values in the above,

v0x=30m/scos36.9=24m/s

The vertical component of the velocity for timet1 is given by

vy=v0y+ayt

Here,v0yis the vertical component of velocity whose value is v0sin,t is the elapsed time,ay is the acceleration in vertical direction whose value is -g.

Substitute all the values in the above,

vy=v0sin-gt=30m/ssin36.9-9.8m/s20.683s=11.3m/s

The vertical velocity at timet2 is given by,

vy=v0sin-gt=30m/ssin36.9-9.8m/s22.991s=-11.3m/s

Thus, the horizontal component of velocity is not change and vertical component of the velocity att1 is 11.3 m/s , and vertical component of velocity att2 is-11.3m/s .

05

(c) Determination of the magnitude and direction of the baseball’s velocity when it returns to the level at which it left the bat

The speed with the use of projectile equations by,

vy2=v0y2+ayy

Here,v0y is the vertical component of velocity whose value is v0sin,ay is the acceleration in vertical direction whose value is-g and y is the displacement of the baseball.

Substitute all the values in the above,

vy2=v0sin2-2gy=30m/ssin36.92-29.8m/s20=-18m/s

Here, negative sign shows the ball is falling downwards.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by,

v=vx2+vy2=24m/s2+-18m/s2=30m/s

The direction the velocity of the baseball is given by,

=tan-vyvx

Substitute all the values in the above expression,

=tan--1824=-36.9

Thus, the velocity of the ball when it returns is 30 m/s and the direction of the velocity of the ball is downwards in horizontal direction at the angle of -36.9.
