Projection Under uniform Acceleration
Question

The coach throws a base ball to a player with an initial speed of 20 ms–1 at an angle of 45o with the horizontal. At the moment the ball is thrown, the player is 50 m from coach. The speed and the direction that the player has to run to catch the ball at the same height at which it was released in ms–1 is

Moderate
Solution

Range  = =\frac{(20)^2(1)}{10}=40\;m

time =\frac{2X20X\frac{1}{\sqrt2}}{10}=2\sqrt2\;sec

Distance = 10 m

Hence ν = \large \frac {10}{2\sqrt2}=\frac{5}{\sqrt2}\;m/s\;towards\;the\;coach
