Aball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110 ft./sec. at an angle 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft. approximately how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground? acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft./s^2.

a. 2.35 seconds
b. 2.47 seconds
c. 6.46 seconds
d. 6.50 seconds

T= 2.35 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒The question is on the time of flight.

⇒Time of flight is the time taken for a projected object to reach the ground.It depends on the projectile angle and the initial velocity of the projectile

Given;

Initial velocity of ball= 110ft./sec.

The projectile angle= 20°

Acceleration due to gravity, g=32 ft./s²

⇒Formulae for time of fright T= (2×u×sin Ф)/g

Where T=time of fright, u=initial velocity of projectile, Ф=projectile angle and g=acceleration due o gravity.

Substituting values

T= (2×u×sin Ф)/g

T=( 2×110×sin 20°) / 32

T= 2.35 seconds
