At a baseball game, the batter hit a fly ball at time t = 0 s. The outfielder caught the ball at t = 5.8 s. When was the ball at

maximum elevation? Assume that the baseball was at the same height above the ground when it was hit and caught, and that air resistance is negligible.

We have the following equation for height:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 Where,
 a: acceleration
 vo: initial speed
 h0: initial height.
 The value of the acceleration is:
 a = -g = -9.8 m / s ^ 2
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = (1/2) * (a) * 0 ^ 2 + vo * 0 + h0
 h (0) = h0
 h0 = 0 (reference system equal to zero when the ball is hit).
 For t = 5.8 we have:
 h (5.8) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0
 (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0 = 0
 vo = (1/2) * (9.8) * (5.8)
 vo = 28.42
 Substituting values we have:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 h (t) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t + 0
 Rewriting:
 h (t) = -4.9 * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t
 The maximum height occurs when:
 h '(t) = -9.8 * t + 28.42
 -9.8 * t + 28.42 = 0
 t = 28.42 / 9.8
 t = 2.9 seconds.
 Answer:
 
The ball was at maximum elevation when:
 
t = 2.9 seconds.

Answer:

2.9 s

Explanation:

Vertical Displacement is zero because the initial and final height above the ground is same.

Total time of flight is = 5.8 s

The time taken by ball to reach the maximum elevation is same as the time to fall back the same height. The time at which the ball was at maximum elevation is half the time of flight.

Thus, the time at which the ball was at maximum elevation = \frac{5.8s}{2}= 2.9s

svlad2 [7]
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J

solong [7]

Answer: Erosion or water level rising

Explanation: Erosion happens when water goes against a rock and breaks it down little by little so these mountains may have once been above water but became eroded. Also, people might’ve added so much pollution into the ocean that the water level rose or there was an increase in the population of large animals. Sorry for my very long answer lol
