Question
A football is thrown at an angle of 30.° above the horizontal. The magnitude of the horizontal
component of the ball’s initial velocity is 13.0 meters per second. The magnitude of the vertical
component of the ball’s initial velocity is 7.5 meters per second. [Neglect friction.]
The football is caught at the same height from which it is thrown. Calculate the total time the football
was in the air. [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]

Answer:
Explanation:
Let the initial velocity is u.
ux = 13 m/s
uy = 7.5 m/s
Angle of projection, θ = 30°
ux = u Cos 30 = 13
u = 15 m/s
Height caught is same
use second equation of motion
h = uy t – 0.5 x gt²
0 = 75. t – 0.5 x 9.8 x t²
t = 1.24 s
Answer:
1.53 s
Explanation:
Initially vertical component of velocity of the ball, uy = 7.5 m/s
Net displacement is vertical direction is zero, Δy =0
Use second equation of motion:
Δy = uy t + 0.5 a t²
Here, acceleration a = -g (g =9.8 m/s²)
Substitute all the values and solve for g
0 = 7.5 t -0.5 (9.8)t²
7.5 t = 4.9 t²
t = 1.53 s
