Answer:
U = 9.1 m/s
Explanation:
from the question we are given the following
time (t) = 1.8 s
angle = 23 degrees
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}
let us first calculate the initial velocity (u) which too the first ball to its maximum height from the equation below
v = u + 0.5at
therefore
0 = u - (0.5 x 9.8 x 0.9)
u = 7.9 m/s
for the second ball to get to the maximum height of the first ball, the vertical component of its initial velocity (U) must be the same as the initial velocity of the first ball. therefore
U sin 60 = 7.9
U = 7.9 ÷ sin 60
U = 9.1 m/s
