Question
If the ball could continue to travel below it’s original level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04s would be possible. Compare the balls position and velocity 8.00s after the start of its flight. (Answers c =178m. Y= 76.8m, Vx= 22.2m/s, Vy= -48.8m/s Both images have background information to help solve the practice problem. (The correct answer is also provided) just need help with working it out.

capturing up to 250,000 frames per second. These data reveal that the spores are ejected with accelerations of
up to 1,800,000 m/s, or about 180,000g. These are the largest natural accelerations ever measured.
EXAMPLE 3.4 A home-run hit
Now let's consider a projectile problem in which the initial velocity is specified in terms of a magnitude
and an angle. Suppose a home-run baseball is hit with an initial speed vo= 37.0 m/s at an initial angle
80 = 53.1°. (a) Find the ball's position, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, when t = 2.00 s.
(b) Find the time the ball reaches the highest point of its flight, and find its height h at that point. (c) Find the
horizontal range R (the horizontal distance from the starting point to the point where the ball hits the ground).
SOLUTION
SET UP The ball is probably struck a meter or so above ground level,
but we'll ignore this small distance and assume that it starts at ground
level (yo = 0). Figure 3.15 shows our sketch. We place the origin of
coordinates at the starting point, so xo = 0. The components of the initial
velocity are
Vox= vo cos 0o = (37.0 m/s) (0.600) = 22.2 m/s,
Voy vo sin 0o = (37.0 m/s) (0.800) = 29.6 m/s.

Part (b): At the highest point in the ball's path, the vertical velocity
component u, is zero. When does this happen? Call that time ₁; then,
using uy = Voy gt, we find that
Uy = 0 = 29.6 m/s - (9.80 m/s²)₁,
t₁ = 3.02 s.
The height h at this time is the value of y when t = 3.02 s. We use
Equation 3.11,
y = yo voyt + (-8)1²,
to obtain
h = 0 + (29.6 m/s) (3.02 s) + (-9.80 m/s²) (3.02 s)²
= 44.7 m.
Alternatively, we can use the constant-acceleration formula,
v² = voy² + 2a(y-yo) = voy² + 2(-8)(y - yo).
At the highest point, uy = 0 and y = h. Substituting these values in,
along with yo = 0, we find that
0 = (29.6 m/s)22(9.80 m/s²)h,
h = 44.7 m.
This is roughly half the height of the Statue of Liberty above the play-
ing field.
Part (c): To find the range R, we start by asking when the ball hits the
ground. This occurs when y = 0. Call that time 12; then, from Equa-
tion 3.11,
y = 0 = (29.6 m/s)t2 + (-9.80 m/s²)t₂².
This is a quadratic equation for 12; it has two roots:
12 = 0 and 1₂ = 6.04 s.
EXAMPLE 3.5 Range and
There are two times at which y = 0: 12 = 0 is the time the ball leaves
the ground, and 12 = 6.04 s is the time of its return. The latter is exactly
twice the time the ball takes to reach the highest point, so the time of
descent equals the time of ascent. (This is always true if the starting and
ending points are at the same elevation and air resistance is ignored.
We'll prove it in Example 3.5.)
The range R is the value of x when the ball returns to the ground-
that is, when t = 6.04 s:
R = Vox 12 = (22.2 m/s) (6.04 s) = 134 m.
For comparison, the distance from home plate to center field at Pittsburgh's
PNC Park is 399 ft (about 122 m). If we could ignore air resistance, the ball
really would be a home run.
Lumald
At the instant the ball returns to y = 0, its vertical component of
velocity is
Uy
29.6 m/s + (-9.80 m/s²) (6.04 s) = -29.6 m/s.
That is, uy has the same magnitude as the initial vertical velocity voy but
the opposite sign. Since u, is constant, the angle = -53.1° (below the
horizontal) at this point is the negative of the initial angle 00 = 53.1°.
REFLECT The actual values of the maximum height h and the range R
are substantially lower than the values we've found because air resis-
tance is not negligible. In fact, the range of a batted ball is substantially
greater (on the order of 10 m for a home-run ball) in Denver than in
Pittsburgh because the density of air is almost 20% lower in Denver.
Practice Problem: If the ball could continue to travel below its origi-
nal level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then
negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04 s would
be possible. Compute the ball's position and velocity 8.00 s after the
start of its flight. Answers: x= 178 m, y = -76.8 m, v, = 22.2 m/s,
Uy -48.8 m/s.
