Answer:
the ball travels a distance of 8.84 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Range: Range is defined as the horizontal distance from the point of projection to the point where the projectile hits the projection plane again.
R = (U²sin2∅)/g.............................. Equation 1
Where R = range, U = initial velocity, ∅ = angle of projection, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: U = 10 m/s, ∅ = 60°
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substituting these values into equation 1
R = [10²×sin(2×60)]/9.8
R = (100sin120)/9.8
R = 100×0.8660/9.8
R = 86.60/9.8
R = 8.84 m
Therefore the ball travels a distance of 8.84 m
