ANSWER:
Solution 95IP
Step 1 of 4
Part a
We are required to calculate the launch angle of the ball under the given conditions.
Given:
The initial speed m/s
The height of the tree m
Horizontal distance m
The horizontal distance
The vertical distance,
Substitute , , and values here,
Solving this quadratic equation,
or 0.885
or
The angle greater than 54.00 here is 60.40.
So, the required angle is 60.40.
