Okay, can someone help me figure out this problem. I've tried a lot of things but then i just get lost in all my sine and cosine mess that ends up confusing me.
[values changed for simplicity reasons]
-The pitcher is going to throw a ball from 4 meters above the ground and there is a distance of 20 m to the batter. A pitcher stands on the mound and throws the ball at an angle of @[theta] with respect to the horizon with the initial speed of 40 m/s. At what angle should the ball be thrown so that the ball will land 2 meters above the ground when it reaches the batter?
so the data is as follows:
initial starting point of ball: 4 meters above ground (y) and 20 meters from the batter (x)
final point of the ball: 2 meters above the ground (y)and 20 meters from the original point (x)
initial speed is 40 m/s at the unknown angle of @[theta]
so basically, i guess what I'm asking here is how to split the initial velocity into x and y components.
thank you if you can help me,
and thanks for trying if u can't. O.O
