Chapter 12 Problem 12-232

Question

The football player at A throws the ball in the yz plane at a speed vA = 50 ft>s and an angle uA = 60 with the horizontal. At the instant the ball is thrown, the player is at B and is running with constant speed along the line BC in order to catch it. Determine this speed, vB, so that he makes the catch at the same elevation from which the ball was thrown.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 232 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The football player at A throws the ball in the yz plane at a speed vA = 50 ft>s and an angle uA = 60 with the horizontal. At the instant the ball is thrown, the player is at B and is running with constant speed along the line BC in order to catch it. Determine this speed, vB, so that he makes the catch at the same elevation from which the ball was thrown.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
