Question

b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 2.50 m/s. What distance in meters does the ball travel horizontally

Answer 1

The horizontal distance is 0.64 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity, u =2.5m/s

The maximum horizontal distance is

`R = (u^2)/(2g)\\\\R = (2.5* 2.5)/(9.8)\\\\R = 0.64 m`
