Agolfer hits a ball at an angle of 12 degrees above horizontal. the velocity of the ball is 37 m/s. what is the horizontal distance the ball travels in 2 seconds? a. 9.6 m b. 36 m c. 72 m d. 74 m

72 m is the horizontal distance the travels.

Option: C

Explanation:

The units to express the horizontal and vertical distances are meters (m). The "horizontal" and "vertical" velocities are expressed in "meters per second" (m/s).

Horizontal distance = (initial horizontal velocity)(time)

We can now get the range x from the horizontal component of velocity

     equation (1)

x = horizontal distance (m)

t = time (s)

We know that, V = 37 m/s, θ = 12 degree and t = 2 seconds.

To find,

x = 72.076 m ~ 72 m

x = 72 m

The horizontal distance is 72 m.

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.
