Answer #1

Part A:

Maximum height to be reached by ball = 3+3-1=5m

Horizontal distance to be reached by ball = 18m

Let the ball be thrown at speed v and at an angle \theta

5=(v2sin2\theta)/2g .... (i)

18=v2sin2\theta /g...(ii)

dividing(ii) by (i) we get

18/5 = 2(sin2\theta)/sin2\theta

1.8=(2sin\thetacos\theta)/sin2\theta

0.9=1/tan\theta

tan\theta = 1/0.9

\theta = 48o

5=(v2sin2\theta)/2g

Or, 5=(v2sin248)/2g

v = 13.32 m/s

Part B :

\theta = 48o
