Calculate the horizontal component $v_H$ and the vertical component $v_V$ of the ball’s velocity just after it leaves the ground.
Show that the ball is at its maximum height when $t = 1.6\,\text{s}$.
On Fig. 1.2, sketch how $v_H$ varies with time $t$ from $t=0$ to $t=3.2\,\text{s}$. Take the upward direction as positive for velocity. Label the line H.
On Fig. 1.2, sketch the variation of $v_V$ with time $t$ from $t=0$ to $t=3.2\,\text{s}$. Assume that upward velocity is positive. Label your line V.
The ball’s total change in momentum from leaving the ground at $t=0$ to landing on the ground at $t=3.2\,\text{s}$ is $13\,\text{kg m s}^{-1}$. Define momentum.
Calculate the force acting on the ball while it is in the air.
Determine the ball’s mass.
