From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds

What Kinetic energy is exactly equal to Gravitational Potential Energy why is height halfway between the maximum height?
prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force

Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.

A man, a distance d=3~\text{m}d=3 m from a target, throws a ball at an angle \theta= 70^\circθ=70 ​∘ ​​ above the horizontal. If
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The ball doesn't strike the building because it strikes the ground at d=1.62 meters.

Explanation:

V= 5 m/s < 70º

Vx= 1.71 m/s

Vy= 4.69 m/s

h= Vy * t - g * t²/2

clearing t for the flying time of the ball:

t= 0.95 s

d= Vx * t

d= 1.62 m
