A golfer standing on level ground hits a ball with

a velocity of u = 52 m/s at an angle a above thehorizontal. If tan a = 5/12, then the time intervalfor which the ball is at least 15 m above theground (i.e. between A and B will be : (take g =10 m/s)15 m15 m(1) 1 sec(2) 2 sec(3) 3 sec(4) 4 sec​

Answer:

(2) 2 s

Explanation:

1) We have,

tan(a) = \frac{5}{12} \\ \\=> \frac{sin(a)}{cos(a)}=\frac{5}{12}\\ \\=>cos(a) = \frac{12}{5}sin(a)\\ \\But,\\ \\ sin^2(a)+cos^2(a)=1\\ \\=>sin^2(a)+\frac{12^2}{5^2}sin^2(a)=1\\ \\ =>sin^2(a)[1+\frac{12^2}{5^2}]=1\\ \\=>sin^2(a)=\frac{5^2}{13^2}\\ \\=>sin(a)=\frac{5}{13}

2) Also,

S_y=15 m\\ \\ u_y = u sin(a) = 52*\frac{5}{13} = 20 m/s \\ \\ g = 10 m/s^2

Using Newton's Equation of motion,

S_y=u_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\ \\=> 15 = 20t-5t^2\\ \\=>t^2-4t+3=0\\ \\=>(t-3)(t-1)=0\\ \\=>t=3,1

3)Hence, Ball was at 15 m from ground at t= 3 s and t=1 s.

=> From t=1 to t=3 , ball was above 15 m.

=> Time Interval = 3-1=2 s

That is , Option (2) 2 s is correct answer
