Supposing there's no air resistance, horizontal velocity is constant, which makes it very easy to solve for the amount of time that the rock was in the air.


Initial horizontal velocity is: <span>
cos(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 10.3923m/s 

15.5m / 10.3923m/s = 1.49s 

So the rock was in the air for 1.49 seconds. </span>

<span>

Now that we know that, we can use the following kinematics equation: 

d = v i * t + 1/2 * a * t^2 

Where d is the difference in y position, t is the time that the rock was in the air, and a is the vertical acceleration: -9.80m/s^2. </span>

<span>
Initial vertical velocity is sin(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 6 m/s 

So: 

d = 6 * 1.49 + (1/2) * (-9.80) * (1.49)^2 
d = 8.94 + -10.89</span>

d = -1.95<span>

<span>This means that the initial y position is 1.95 m higher than where the rock lands. </span></span>

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 \frac{m}{s}

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = \frac{0-8}{-9.8}

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s
