Ascience student riding on a flatcar of a train moving at a constant speed of 11.2 m/s throws a ball toward the caboose along a path that the student judges as making an initial angle of 51° to the horizontal. the teacher, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball rising vertically. how high does the ball rise?

ball rise height is 19.34 m

Explanation:

given data

speed = 11.2 m/s

angle = 51°

to find out

How high does the ball rise

solution

we take here velocity vector as x and y component in horizontal and vertical direction

velocity (x) = v cos 51

velocity (y) = v sin 51

and ratio between these component is

Vy = tan51 Vx

Vy = 1.23 Vx

we consider here speed v is relative to teacher

and here no motion in x refer to teacher so V will be 0

so equation of motion

V = Vx + v = 0

Vx = -v

Vx = - 11.2 m/s

so ball thrown backward student ref is

Vref y = Vy

Vref y = 1.23 Vx

Vref y = 1.23 (-11.2)

Vref y = 13.77 m/s

and

height of ball by kinematic equation

height =

here v is 13.77 and g = 9.8

height =

height = 19.34 m

so ball rise height is 19.34 m

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
