Problem
A cricket fielder standing on a horizontal ground throws a ball with an initial speed of 30m s−1 making an angle of 36∘ with the horizontal. Take g=9.8m s−2.
(i) Calculate the total time of flight of the ball.
(ii) Determine the horizontal range covered by the ball before it lands.
(iii) Find the maximum height reached by the ball.
(iv) Obtain the horizontal and vertical components of velocity of the ball after 1.5s of flight.
