Question

Brandon hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 30 above the horizontal. How long is it in the air?

Answer 1

Given :

Brandon hits a golf ball with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 30 above the horizontal.

To Find :

How long is it in the air.

Solution :

We know, the formula of time of flight is :

`T = (2usin\ \theta)/(g)\\\\T = (2* 30* sin\ 30^o)/(9.8)\\\\T = 3.06\ seconds`

Therefore, the ball is in air for 3.06 seconds.
