(a)
To find:The equation of the parabolic path.
(a)
Answer to Problem 105E
The equation of the parabolic path is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A ball is thrown from the top of a
Formula used:
The equation for the path is
Calculation:
The ball is thrown from a height of
So, the value of
Therefore, the equation of the parabolic path is
(b)
To calculate:The horizontal distance travelled by ball before striking the ground.
(b)
Answer to Problem 105E
The horizontal distance travelled by the ball before striking the ground is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A ball is thrown from the top of a
Formula used:
The equation for the path is
Calculation:
As calculated in part(a), the equation of the parabolic path is
Now to calculate the horizontal distance travelled by ball before striking the ground substitute
Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by the ball before striking the ground is
