Problem
A cricket ball is struck from ground level with a speed of 25ms−1 at an angle of 37∘ to the horizontal. Take g=9.8ms−2.
(i) Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity.
(ii) Determine the horizontal position x and the vertical position y of the ball after 2s from launch.
(iii) Find the magnitude and direction (angle with the horizontal, measured above or below the horizontal as appropriate) of the velocity of the ball at t=2s. Round your final answers to two significant figures.
