Answer:
Explanation:
Horizontal component of initial velocity of throw = 20 cos 53 = 12 m /s
Vertical component = 20 sin 53 = 15.97 m /s
Distance to be travelled horizontally = 6 m .
time taken by ball to travel this distance = 6 / 12 = 0.5 s
vertical displacement during this period can be calculated as follows .
Initial vertical velocity = 15.97 m /s
time of travel = .5 s
acceleration = - 9.8 m /s²
s = ut - 1/2 g t²
= 15.97 x .5 - .5 x 9.8 x 0.5²
= 7.985 - 1.225
= 6.76 m
Goal post is 6 m high , so ball will cross the goal post .76 m or 76 cm above cross bar .
b ) vertical component of ball when it crosses the goal post . Let it be v .
v = u - gt
Applying this formula for vertical movement ,
v = 15.97 - 9.8 x .5
= 15.97 - 4.9
= 11.07 m /s .
