Agolfer hits a ball at an angle of 12 degrees above horizontal. the velocity of the ball is 37 m/s. what is the horizontal distance the ball travels in 2 seconds? a. 9.6 m b. 36 m c. 72 m d. 74 m

72 m is the horizontal distance the ball travels in 2 seconds.

Option C

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the distance travelled per unit time and expressed in m/s. The mathematical expression can be given as follows,

Now, the given datas are,

Angle made with the horizontal= 12 degrees

Velocity with which the ball was hit= 37 m/s

Time travelled= 2 s

The range ‘x’ of the horizontal component’s velocity can be calculated by,

So, horizontal component of velocity,

Now, horizontal distance travelled can be measured as,

The value gets rounded off and the horizontal travelled distance as 72 m.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get
