Question 5 (1 point) A child kicks a ball horizontally with a speed of 4.8 m/s off a deck 3.5 m off the
ground. How far, in meters, from the deck does the ball land on the ground?

The horizontal distance the ball travels is approximately 4.055 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height from which the child kicks the ball = 3.5 m

The horizontal speed of the ball = 4.8 m/s

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes the ball to hit the ground is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial vertical velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

t = The time it takes the ball to hit the ground

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the ball = 3.5 m

3.5 = 0 × t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

∴ t² = 3.5/(1/2 × 9.81)

∴ t = √(3.5/(1/2 × 9.81) = 0.8447 s

t ≈ 0.8447 s

The time the ball takes in flight = t ≈ 0.8447 s

Therefore;

The horizontal distance the ball travels = The horizontal velocity × The time of flight

∴ The horizontal distance the ball travels = 4.8 × 0.8447 ≈ 4.055

The horizontal distance the ball travels ≈ 4.055 meters.

when earth is in rotational motion around the sun,it displaces from its place.

when a ball is placed on an inclined surface it does both the rotational and circular motion.
