ANSWER

Given,

v

0y

=10m/s

v

0x

=30m/s

g=10m/s

2

In projectile motion, for solving the total distance traveled by the ball horizontally, have to calculate the total time to cover going up and landing down by the given equation,

y=v

0y

t+

+y

0

at the point where it lands, y=0

0=10t+

(−10)t

0=t(10−5t)

t=0,2sec

The total horizontal distance covered by the tennis ball is given by

x=v

0x

t

x=30×2

x=60m

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Hope it is helpful

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
