A baseball is hit with a speed of 28.0 m/s at an angle of 42.0 ∘. It lands on the flat roof of a 12.0 m - tall nearby building. If the ball was hit when it was 1.5 m above the ground, what horizontal distance does it travel before it lands on the building?

    consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction or Y-direction.

    Y₀ = initial position of the ball at the time of launch = 1.5 m

    Y = final position of the ball at the time of landing = 12 m

    v₀ = initial velocity at the time of launch = 28 Sin42 = 18.74 m/s

    a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

    t = time taken

    using the kinematics equation

    Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

    12 = 1.5 + (18.74) t + (0.5) ( - 9.8) t²

    t = 3.14 sec

    consider the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction or X-direction.

    X₀ = initial position of the ball at the time of launch = 0 m

    X = final position of the ball at the time of landing = ?

    v₀ = initial velocity at the time of launch = 28 Cos42 = 20.8 m/s

    a = acceleration = 0 m/s²

    t = time taken = 3.14 sec

    using the kinematics equation

    X = X₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

    X = 0 + (20.8) (3.14) + (0.5) (0) (3.14) ²

    X = 65.3 m

    hence the ball travels 65.3 m before it lands on building
