Calculate the Range of the Tennis Ball

What is the velocity and launch angle of the tennis ball?

The velocity of the tennis ball is 90 m/s and it is launched at an angle of 13 degrees to the horizontal.

Calculation of Range:

Given:

Initial velocity (V) = 90 m/s

Launch angle (A) = 13 degrees

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Formula:

Range (R) = (V² × sin A ) / g

Calculation:

R = (90² × sin 13) / 9.8

R = (8100 × 0.22495105434) / 9.8

R = 1819.5594886 / 9.8

R ≈ 185.93 meters

Therefore, the range of the tennis ball is approximately 186 meters.
