(a) The acceleration of the ball while it is in flight has a magnitude of 9.81 m/s2 in downward direction.

(b) The velocity of the ball when it reaches its maximum height is zero.

(d) The maximum height it reaches is 15.36 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the ball</h3>

The acceleration of the ball while it is in flight has a magnitude of 9.81 m/s2 in downward direction.

<h3>Velocity of the ball at maximum height</h3>

The velocity of the ball decreases as the ball moves upwards and eventually becomes zero at maximum height.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

v = u - gt

at maximum height, final velocity, v = 0

0 = u - gt

u = gt

u = 9.81 x 1.77

u = 17.36 m/s

<h3>Maximum height reached by the projectile</h3>

h = ut - ¹/₂gt

h = 17.36(1.77) - ¹/₂(9.81)(1.77²)

h = 15.36 m

Thus, the acceleration of the ball while it is in flight has a magnitude of 9.81 m/s2 in downward direction.

The velocity of the ball when it reaches its maximum height is zero.

The initial velocity of the ball is 17.36 m/s.

The maximum height it reaches is 15.36 m.

Explain why streets and highways have speed limits and not velocity limits.

We know that speed is a scalar unit while velocity is a vector. The signs are mostly concerned with the magnitude that the car should travel in, the direction is not as important.

Hope I helped :)

This would be an illustration of Newton's first law of motion. Law of inertia, an object moving at constant velocity will keep moving at constant velocity until a force is acted upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a particular direction resisting to change, unless a force acts upon the object.

If Scobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 160.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long w

Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

To calculate the time that takes Scobie to drive around Earth's equator we need to find the distance, which is given by the equation of a circumference:

$d = 2\pi r$

<em>Where:</em>

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km

Then, the distance is:

$d = 2\pi r = 2\pi*6371 km = 40030.2 km$

Now, if we divide the above distance by the speed of the car we can find the time:

$t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{40030.2 km}{160.0 km/h} = 250.2 h*\frac{1 d}{24 h} = 10 d$

Therefore, Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.
