Question

Hanna tosses a ball straight up with enough speed to remain in the air for several seconds?

Answer 1

A) the velocity is 0 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In the free fall motion we have that the acceleration is constant and produced by gravity, this acceleration has a magnitude of 32 ft/s2 or 9.8 m/s2 depending on the units you are working with. This means that every second the speed changes a magnitude of 32 ft/2, the velocity will depend of whether the ball is going upward (positive) or downward (negative).

A) At the highest point the ball stops to start the descend, here v=0 ft/s

B) +32 ft/s. The vector is going up, in the next second the velocity is going to be 0 (negative acceleration)

C) V=vf-vo=0-32=-32 ft/s is the constant change in velocity in projectile motion

D) -32 ft/s. The vector is pointing downward

E)  V=vf-vo=-32-0=-32 ft/s is the constant change in velocity in projectile motion, 32 ft/s per second

F) Delta V=vf-vo=-32-32=-72 ft/s

g) gravity acceleration is constant 32 ft/s2 (pointing downward vector)
