An adjustable tennis ball launcher launches tennis balls into the air from level ground and that return to level ground. The tennis balls are first launched with an initial velocity (vi) of 8.0 meters per second at an angle of 50° above the horizontal. The ball has an initial horizontal velocity of 5.1 meters per second. [Neglect friction.]
Calculate the vertical component of the ball’s initial velocity.
Calculate the maximum height reached by the ball.
Calculate the time elapsed to reach its maximum height.
Calculate the total horizontal distance travelled during its flight.
