Hi all,
A ball is thrown from a point on a horizontal plane with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal. Taking g = 10m/s^2 calculate:
(c) the speed with which it strikes the ground
The answer says 25m/s, but I don't think it is. Yes, the horizontal component would be 25m/s but the overall velocity is not 25m/s when it strikes the ground???
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
