Question 883405: Betsy King, one of the champions of women's golf hit a ball with an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. The distance that a golf ball travels is found by the formula where Vo is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and is the measurement of the angle that the initial path of the ball makes with the ground. The acceleration due to gravity is .
a) Write an expression for the distance the ball travels in terms of .
b) Find the distance Ms. King's ball travelled if the angle between the initial path of the ball and the ground measured 60°. Found 2 solutions by cigany29, Alan3354:Answer by cigany29(23) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2*theta
************ g = 32 ft/sec^2 *************
-------
a) Write an expression for the distance the ball travels in terms of
That is the distance in terms of theta.
Vo and g are constants.
Sub for them if you want.
