Base your answers to following questions, 1 – 6 on the information below:

Tiger Woods is standing at the tee after his knee surgery and can’t wait to take out the driver and hit the golf ball down the fairway with a little slice ( because of the dog leg right). If he hits the golf ball at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal and a velocity of 196 m/s, find the following.

1. The initial vertical component of the velocity is:

2. The initial horizontal component of the velocity is:

3. When the golf ball reaches a maximum height, the vertical component of the velocity is:

4. The time of the flight of the golf ball is:

5. The maximum height of the golf ball is:

6. The horizontal range of the golf ball is:

Base your answers to questions 7 – 11 on the information below:

A-rod our famed New York Yankee (and his 285 million dollar contract) hits one of his 56 homeruns last season when facing K-rod (the Los Angeles closer). If he hits the ball from the level ground the initial vertical component is 49 m/s and there is a horizontal component of 70 m/s.

7. How long is the ball in the air?

8. The horizontal range of the ball is closest to:

9. The magnitude of the initial velocity of the ball is:

10. The maximum height of the ball is:

11. The initial angle the ball makes with the ground is:
