A tennis ball is struck such that it leaves the racket horizontally with speed of 28.0 ms the ball hits the court at horizontal distance of 19.6 m from the racket what is the height of the tennis ball?

Assume the ball's horizontal speed remains constant, since the only significant force is gravity which acts in the vertical direction. We can calculate the time of flight: time = distance / speed = 19.6m / 28ms-1 = 0.7s Consider now the vertical direction: we know that the ball took 0.7s to fall to the ground, and also that its initial vertical speed was zero. Its acceleration was g = 9.81ms-2. It is thus possible to deduce the vertical distance that it fell. s = ut + at2/2 ... but u = 0 = at2/2 = 9.81 x 0.72 / 2 = 2.40m to 3 significant figures.

A bullet fired horizontally from a rifle begins to fall?
As soon as it leaves the muzzle of the rifle. To hit a target at any distance, the line of sight of the barrel will be tilted so that it is ABOVE horizontal- and gravity will cause the bullet to curve back to earth- or your target.
If the ball leaves his foot from a height of 4 ft write an equation for the vertical height s (in ft) of the ball t seconds after being kicked?
The answer depends on the direction (upward, horizontal, or downward) in which the ball leaves his foot.
A train leaves danville junction and travels north at the speed of 75mph tow hours later a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 125 mph how far from the station will they meet?
Plot distance vertical axis and time on horizontal and draw a graph with the first train leaving at zero time plot distance travelled in 4 hours I.E. 300miles draw a line. For second train start from 2 hours on time line and plot distance travelled in 4 hours I.E. 500 and draw line where they intercept draw a line to distance scale horizontally answer 375miles from the station.
A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle 20 to horizontal and at speed of 11ms.how far does he jump and what the maximum height reached?
Making the improbable assumption that the jumper experiences no air resistance, he will jump 3.97 metres, and reach a height of 0.72 metres.

There necks are really long so they can reach the leaves at a high distance
How do leaves grow on a eucalyptus tree?
The leaves of eucalyptus trees, or gum trees, grow hanging down, rather than horizontally. This is a special adaptation which minimises evaporation and hence water loss (transpiration), as the leaves are not as exposed to sunlight. The leaves usually have equal numbers of stoma on each side, unlike trees which hold their leaves horizontally - they tend to have all or most of their stoma on the lower side. The leaves also tend to have a thick, waxy coating which also minimises water loss.
A ball is thrown into the air at angle of 45 degrees at what point is the total velocity the greatest?
The velocity is greatest at two points:1). when it leaves the hand of the tosser2). when it returns to the same height as it was when it was releasedThis answer is the same for any angle above horizontal, regardless of the angle.
How does the giraffes height effect the giraffes lives?
It's height allows it to reach the leaves of tall trees. They can only eat the leaves, so if they were not very tall, they would not be able to survive. Sent by henry. x
