../../../../../_images/Cricket.png

A group of students are playing a game of cricket atop a ship moving at \(v = {{ params_v }} \ \rm{m/s}\). The cricket ball is thrown with velocity \(u = {{ params_u }} \ \rm{m/s}\), from an elevated point on the ship, \(h = {{ params_h }} \ \rm{m}\) up.

Part 1#

What is the initial projection angle(\(\theta\)) relative to the horizontal of the ball if it travels the entire length of the moving ship, which is \(x = {{ params_x }} \rm{m}\) long?

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value in m/s.

Part 2#

What is the absolute projection speed of the ball?

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value in m/s.
