Concept explainers
A badminton shuttlecock is struck by a racket at a 35° angle, giving it an initial speed of 10 m/s. How high will it go? How far will it travel horizontally before being contacted by the opponent’s racket at the same height from which it was projected? (Answer: dv = 1.68 m; dh = 9.58 m)
To determine: The horizontal and vertical distance of the badminton shuttlecock.
Answer to Problem 9AP
Vertical distance travelled by the shuttle cock is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Write the relation to find the vertical distance travelled by the ball.
Here,
Substitute
Thus, vertical distance travelled by the shuttle cock is
Write the relation to find the time of flight.
Here,
Substitute
Thus, total time of flight is
Write the relation to find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball.
Here,
Substitute
Thus, horizontal distance travelled by the shuttle cock is
Therefore, vertical distance travelled by the shuttle cock is
