A batsman hits a ball at an angle of `306^@` with an initial speed of `30 ms^-1`. Assuming that the ball travels in a verticle plane, calculate. (a) The time at which the ball reaches the highest point. (b) The maximum height reached. ( c) The horizontal range of the ball. (d) The time for which the ball is in the air. |

Answer» Here `theta = 30^@ , u = 30 m s^-1` (a) The time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is half the total time of flight. As the time of ascending and decending is same for a projectile without air resistance, the time to reach the highest point `t_H = (T)/(2) = (u sin theta)/(g) = (30)/(10) xx sin 30^@ = 1.5 s` (b) The maximum height reached is `(u^2 sin^2 theta)/(2 g) = ((30)^2 xx (sin 30^@)^2)/(2 g) = (900)/(2 xx 10 xx 4) = 11.25 m` ( c) Horizontal range `= (u^2 sin 2 theta)/(g)` `=((30)^2 sin 2 (30^@))/(10)` `= (900sqrt(3))/(20)m = 45 sqrt(3) m` (d) The time for which the ball is in air is same as its time of flight, i.,e., `(2 u sin theta)/(g) = (2 xx 30 xx sin 30^@)/(10) = 3 s`. |
