Question

A golf ball is hit off with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 35 to the horizontal What is the maximum height reached by the ball What is the range What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration and velocity at the maximum height What is the time of flight, that is, the time to reach the ground again?

Answer 1

Maximum height reached = 15.1m

Range = 37.5m

Acceleration = g = 9.8 direct vertically downwards.

Time of flight = 3.56s

Step-by-step explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below.

At the maximum height the acceleration is still equally to g and the direction still vertically downwards. Only the vertical velocity changes due to the acceleration of the earth's gravitational force.
