A cricketer can throw a ball to the maximum horizontal distance of 100 m. How much high above the ground can the cricketer throw the same ball?
Question
A cricketer can throw a ball to the maximum horizontal distance of 100 m. How much high above the ground can the cricketer throw the same ball?
Solution
The maximum horizontal distance (range) a projectile can travel is achieved when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees. At this angle, the maximum height reached by the projectile is equal to half of the maximum range.
Given that the maximum range is 100m, the maximum height the cricketer can throw the ball would be:
100m / 2 = 50m
So, the cricketer can throw the ball up to a maximum height of 50m above the ground.
