The problem that follow involve straight-line motion. The time t is in seconds unless otherwise stated.

Problem

Immediately after the bouncing golf ball leaves the floor, its components of velocity are vx = 0.662 m/s and vy = 3.66 m/s.

(a) Determine the horizontal distance from the point where the ball left the floor to the point where it hits the floor again.

---

(b) The ball leaves the floor at .x = 0, y = 0. Determine the ball’s y coordinate as a function of .x. (The parabolic function you obtain is shown superimposed on the photograph of the ball.)
