COMEDK · Physics · 4. Motion In Two Dimensions

A hockey player hits the ball at an angle of \(37^{\circ}\) from the horizontal with an initial speed of \(40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) (a right angled triangle with one of the angle is \(37^{\circ}\) and their sides in the ratio of \(6: 8: 10\)). Assume that the ball is in a vertical plane. The time at which the ball reaches the highest point of its path is

  1. A 3.2 s
  2. B 2.4 s
  3. C 0.32 s
  4. D 0.24 s
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2.4 s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The initial velocity of the ball is \(u = 40 \text{ m/s}\) and the angle of projection is \(\theta = 37^{\circ}\). The vertical component of the initial velocity is given by \(u_y = u \sin \theta\). Given the triangle with sides in ratio \(3:4:5\) (which is equivalent to…
