Question

in a softball game, a batter hits the ball at the velocity of 27m/s and angle of 40 shown below. What is the maximum range of the ball?

Answer 1

R = 73.25 m

Explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of the ball is 27 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 40 degrees

The maximum range of the ball is given by :

`R=(u^2\sin2\theta)/(g)`

Plugging all the values we get :

`R=((27)^2\sin2(40))/(9.8)\\R=73.25\ m`

So, the maximum range of the ball is 73.25 m
