Answer:
velocity at the top: 0 m/s
acceleration at the top: -9.8 m/s²
Explanation:
Assuming up is positive and down is negative;
The velocity of the ball at the top of its path will be 0 m/s and the acceleration will be negative.
The velocity is 0 m/s because the ball does not move at the top of its path, and it switches from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. It must go through 0 in order to go from positive to negative.
The acceleration, however, is always negative no matter where the ball is in its motion. This negative acceleration causes the ball to slow down as it reaches the top, and speed up as it reaches the bottom.
<u>Think about it:</u> If there wasn't a negative acceleration, and it was instead 0, the ball would never come back down and instead keep going in a straight line.
The equator has no continental borders.
a) 0.94 m
The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

where:
is the force applied by the snow
d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him
m = 68 kg is the man's mass
v = 0 is the final speed of the man
u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)
and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)
Solving the equation for d, we find:

b) -3740 kg m/s
The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

where
m = 68 kg is the mass of the man
is the change in velocity of the man
Substituting,
