Shooting a Steel Ball

Shooting a Steel Ball#

A small steel ball is shot at 3 \(m/s\) at a 71\(^{\circ}\) angle above the horizontal direction and its motion is well approximated by projectile motion.

Part 1#

When the ball returns to its original height, its velocity \(\overrightarrow{v} = (v_x, v_y)\) is:

  • \((3\cos(71^{\circ}), \; -3\sin(71^{\circ}))\)

  • \((3\cos(71^{\circ}), \;3\sin(71^{\circ}))\)

  • \((3\sin(71^{\circ}), \; -3\cos(71^{\circ}))\)

  • \((3\sin(71^{\circ}), \;3\cos(71^{\circ}))\)

  • \((-3\cos(71^{\circ}), \; -3\sin(71^{\circ}))\)

  • \((-3\sin(71^{\circ}), \;3\cos(71^{\circ}))\)
