Chapter 12 Problem 12-90

Question

Show that the girl at A can throw the ball to the boy at B by launching it at equal angles measured up or down from a 45 inclination. If vA = 10 m>s, determine the range R if this value is 15, i.e., u1 = 45 15 = 30 and u2 = 45 + 15 = 60. Assume the ball is caught at the same elevation from which it is thrown.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 90 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Show that the girl at A can throw the ball to the boy at B by launching it at equal angles measured up or down from a 45 inclination. If vA = 10 m>s, determine the range R if this value is 15, i.e., u1 = 45 15 = 30 and u2 = 45 + 15 = 60. Assume the ball is caught at the same elevation from which it is thrown.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
