Lili throws a ball to her friend Eric. The ball leaves Lili's hand a distance 2.00 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 18.0 m/s at an angle 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. Eric catches the ball 1.20 meters above the ground. What is the distance between Lili and Eric, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2

Question

Lili throws a ball to her friend Eric. The ball leaves Lili's hand a distance 2.00 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 18.0 m/s at an angle 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. Eric catches the ball 1.20 meters above the ground. What is the distance between Lili and Eric, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data

The Lili's hand above the ground is DL = 2 m

The initial speed of the ball is u = 18 m/s

The angle of projection of the ball is θ = 30°

Eric's hand above the ground is DE = 1.20 m
