Homework Statement
After a golf ball is hit it takes off with an initial speed of 19.1 m/s and at an angle of 42.0° with respect to the horizontal. The golf field is flat and horizontal. Neglecting air resistance how far will the golf ball fly?
Homework Equations
How high will the golf ball rise?
How much time will the ball spend in the air?
How far would the ball fly if the initial speed was doubled?
How much time would the ball spend in the air in this second case?
The Attempt at a Solution
I broke up the Original Vector into their x and y components.
x component = 14.19
y component = 12.7
I know the acceleration is -9.8m/s. but I don't know which equation to use because you're missing the time.
