h=5.33 m, v(o) = 48 m/s, α = 35.7º
v(oy) = v(o) •sin α = 48• sin35.7º =28 m/s,
The trajectory of the ball is symmetric with respect to the highest point (let it be the point A). Point B (the point where the ball hits the green), point C is at the rising branch of trajectory, and the initial point O.
Now, time OB (which is the question of the problem) =2•( time OA) - time OC. (To imagine make the scheme of trajectory)
OA:
v(y)= v(oy) –gt.
At the point A
v(y) = 0,
0 = v(oy) –g•t.
time OA
t(OA)=v(o) •sin α/g = 28/9.8 =2.86 s.
time OC =t. The height of the point C is h (as well as the point B)
h = v(oy) •t - gt²/2 = 28•t -4.9•t² = 5.33
4.9•t² -28•t + 5.33= 0
t = {28±sqrt(28²-4•4.9•5.33)}/2•4.9 = {28±26}/9.8.
Two roots. We take t= 0.2 because the second root is greater than time OA).
Time OB = 2•2.86 – 0.2 =5.72-0.2=5.7 s.
