Aball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. the ball is given an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 20.08 below the horizontal. it strikes the ground 3.00 s later. (a) how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? (b) find the height from which the ball was thrown. (c) how long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching?

A) The motion of the ball consists of two indipendent motions on the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. The laws of motion in the two directions are:
$x(t)=v_0 \cos \alpha t$
$y(t)=h-v_0 \sin \alpha t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
where
- the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant speed $v_0 \cos \alpha$ , where v_0 = 8.00 m/s

and $\alpha=20.0^{\circ}$
- the vertical motion is an uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2

, initial position h (the height of the building) and initial vertical velocity $v_0 \sin \alpha$ (with a negative sign, since it points downwards)

The ball strikes the ground after a time t=3.00 s, so we can find the distance covered horizontally by the ball by substituting t=3.00 s into the equation of x(t):
$x(3.00 s)=v_0 \cos \alpha t=(8 m/s)(\cos 20^{\circ})(3.0 s)=22.6 m$

b) To find the height from which the ball was thrown, h, we must substitute t=3.00 s into the equation of y(t), and requiring that y(3.00 s)=0 (in fact, after 3 seconds the ball reaches the ground, so its vertical position y(t) is zero). Therefore, we have:
$0=h-v_0 \sin \alpha t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
which becomes
$h=(8 m/s)(\sin 20^{\circ})(3.0 s)+ \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(3.0 s)^2=52.3 m$

c) We want the ball to reach a point 10.0 meters below the level of launching, so we want to find the time t such that
y(t)=h-10

If we substitute this into the equation of y(t), we have
$h-10 = h-v_0 \sin \alpha t- \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
$\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_0 \sin \alpha t -10 =0$
4.9 t^2 +2.74 t-10 =0

whose solution is t=1.18 s

(the other solution is negative, so it has no physical meaning). Therefore, the ball reaches a point 10 meters below the level of launching after 1.18 s.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
