Chapter 12 Problem 12-233

Question

The football player at A throws the ball in the yz plane with 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 at a constant speed of vB = 23 ft>s along the line BC. Determine if he can reach point C, which has the same elevation as A, before the ball gets there.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 233 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 with 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 at a constant speed of vB = 23 ft>s along the line BC. Determine if he can reach point C, which has the same elevation as A, before the ball gets there.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
