Kinematics Question 691

Question: A cricketer his a ball with a velocity 25m/s at 60o above the horizontal. How far above the ground it passes over a fielder 50 m from the bat (assume the ball is struck very close to the ground)

Options:

A) 8.2 m

B) 9.0 m

C) 11.6 m

D) 12.7 m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a]Horizontal component of velocity vx=25cos60=12.5m/s

Vertical component of velocity vy=25sin60=12.53m/s

Time to cover 50 m distance t=5012.5=4sec

The vertical height y it’s given by

y=vyt12gt2=12.53×412×9.8×16=8.2m
