Answer:
t = 5.16 seconds.
Explanation:
The flight time can be found using the following equation:
[tex] y_{f} = y_{0} +v_{0y}*t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]
Where:
t: is the time
g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
y₀: is the initial height = 0
[tex]y_{f}[/tex]: is the final height = 5.50 m
[tex]v_{0y}[/tex]: is the initial vertical velocity = v*sin(35)
v: is the speed = 46 m/s
[tex] 5.50 = 46*sin(35)*t - \frac{1}{2}9.81*t^{2} [/tex]
By solving the above cuadratic equation we have:
t₁= 0.22 s and t₂= 5.16 s
We will take the solution equal to 5.16 seconds, since in 0.22 seconds (very short time) the ball is going up and in 5.16 seconds it landed on the green.
Therefore, 5.16 seconds have passed since the ball was hit until it landed.
I hope it helps you!
