Suppose you know a golf ball's horizontal velocity and the time it has traveled through the air. how could you calculate how far the ball traveled

Respuesta :

Given the time and the horizontal velocity, we can simply compute for the distance how far the ball travelled using the formula:

distance = velocity * time

 

Since velocity is in units of m/s and time is seconds, therefore we can directly get a unit in meters.

To calculate how far (distance) the ball traveled, you would use the following formula:

[tex]Horizontal \; distance = horizontal \; velocity[/tex] × [tex]time[/tex]

Velocity refers to the rate of change in displacement (distance) with respect to time.

Basically, velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Similarly, horizontal velocity is simply horizontal displacement (distance) divided by time.

Mathematically, horizontal velocity is given by the formula;

[tex]Horizontal \; velocity = \frac{Horizontal \; distance}{Time}[/tex]

In order to calculate how far the golf ball traveled, we would need to determine the distance it traveled.

Therefore, making horizontal distance the subject of formula, we have:

[tex]Horizontal \; distance = horizontal \; velocity[/tex] × [tex]time[/tex]
