The motion of the golf ball is a projectile motion.
The horizontal distance the ball travels before striking the ground again is the range.
The formula to calculate range is;
[tex]R=\frac{U^2\sin2\theta}{g}[/tex]
where U = initial velocity = 148 ft/s
1 foot = 0.3048m
148 ft/s = 148 x 0.3048 = 45.11
Hence, U = 45.11 m/s
[tex]\begin{gathered} U=45.11\text{ m/s} \\ \theta=60^0 \\ g=9.8m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore the range is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} R=\frac{U^2\sin2\theta}{g} \\ R=\frac{45.11^2\times\sin (2\times60)}{9.8} \\ R=\frac{2034.91\times\sin 120}{9.8} \\ R=179.83m \end{gathered}[/tex]
The range is 179.83m
In feet, it will be;
[tex]\frac{179.83}{0.3048}=589.99ft[/tex]
Therefore, to the nearest tenth, the ball lands 590.0 feet or 179.8m from the golfer after being struck.
