QuestionCalculate the horizontal distance a ball travels from a height of 7 feet before hitting the ground, rounding to the nearest tenth.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The ball is thrown from a height of7 feet.
. We are ignoring air resistance.
3. The acceleration due to gravity is -32. feet/second².
4. We don't know the initial velocity and the launch angle.
STEP 2
This problem cannot be solved with the given information. The horizontal distance a projectile travels (also known as the range) depends on the initial velocity of the projectile and the angle at which it is launched. Without these two pieces of information, we cannot calculate the range.
