Question
a) In 1897, Madeline Boardman won the long-drive contest during the U.S. Women's Amateur Golf Tournament. Her winning drive was 125 m. if the ball was hit off the tee at a 45 degree angle, what did the magnitude of its initial velocity have to be for her to make the winning drive?
b) Tiger Woods had the speed of his drive measured with a special machine, which found it to be 80 m/s (178 mph) If Tiger hits the ball off of the tee at an angle of 40 degree, how far will it go?
Thank you!
