A ball is released from a tower at a height of 100 meters toward the roof of another tower that is 25 meters high. The horizontal distance between the two towers is 20 meters. With what horizontal velocity should the ball be imparted so that it lands on the rooftop of the second building?

h = Yo*t + 0.5g*t^2 = 100 - 25 = 75 m.

o + 4.9t^2 = 75.
t^2 = 15.31 m.
Tf = 3.91 s. = Time to fall to roof.

Dx = Xo * Tf = 20 m.
Xo * 3.91 = 20.
Xo = 20 / 3.91 = 5.11 m/s. = hor. velocity.

To find the horizontal velocity required for the ball to land on the rooftop of the second building, we can use the equations of motion.

First, let's consider the vertical motion of the ball. Since the ball is released from a height of 100 meters, the initial vertical velocity (Vy) is 0 m/s.

Using the equation for the vertical motion:
h = (1/2)gt^2 , where h is the vertical distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time of flight.

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the time of flight (t):
t = sqrt(2h / g) , where sqrt represents the square root.

Substituting the given values, t = sqrt(2 * 100 / 9.8) ≈ 4.52 seconds.

Now, let's consider the horizontal motion of the ball. The horizontal distance (d) is given as 20 meters.

Using the equation for horizontal motion:
d = Vx * t, where Vx is the horizontal velocity.

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the horizontal velocity (Vx):
Vx = d / t.
Substituting the given values, Vx = 20 / 4.52 ≈ 4.42 m/s.

Therefore, the ball should be imparted with a horizontal velocity of approximately 4.42 m/s in order to land on the rooftop of the second building.

To find the required horizontal velocity, we can use the equations of motion.

Given:
Initial height (h1) = 100 meters
Final height (h2) = 25 meters
Horizontal distance (d) = 20 meters

First, let's find the time it takes for the ball to fall to the height of the second tower. We can use the equation:

h2 = h1 + v1 * t - (1/2) * g * t^2

Rearranging this equation, we get:

t = sqrt((2 * h1 - 2 * h2) / g)

where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface).

Now that we have the time taken to fall, we can calculate the required horizontal velocity. The horizontal velocity (v) can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

Substituting the values of d and t, we get:

v = 20 / t

Now let's substitute the values and calculate the answer step by step:

h1 = 100 meters
h2 = 25 meters
g = 9.8 m/s^2

t = sqrt((2 * 100 - 2 * 25) / 9.8)
= sqrt(150 / 9.8)
= sqrt(15.31)

v = 20 / t
= 20 / sqrt(15.31)

By calculating the value of v, we can find the horizontal velocity required for the ball to land on the rooftop of the second building.
