Answer:

v_{f}=-6.2 m/s

Explanation:

The ball will rise decreasing its speed until it reaches the highest point where its speed will be zero. From this point the tennis ball will begin to fall again, in the free fall the tennis ball will gain speed but now in the opposite direction. When it returns to the same point where it was launched, its speed will be the same as the one that was launched but with the opposite sign.

v_{f}=-6.2 m/s

We can check this using the equation:

v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2gh

where v_{i}=+6.2 m/s

ang h is the height, but because the ball returns to the same point where it started, h =0

then

v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2

v_{f}=v_{i}

the initial and final velocity will be the same in number, but we know that the ball is going in the opposite direction, so the final velocity must have the opposite sign from the initial velocity

so if v_{i}=+6.2 m/s,

v_{f}=-6.2 m/s

A car traveling at 60km/h undergoes uniform acceleration at a rate of 2/ms^2 until is velocity reached 120km/h determine the dis
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s

Acceleration, a = 2m/s²

Final speed, v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance.

acceleration = rate of change of velocity

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{33.33 -16.67 }{2}\\\\t=8.33\ s

let the distance be d.

d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\frac{33.33^{2}-16.67^{2}}{2(2)}\\\\d=208.25\ m

Hence, the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance is 208.25 m and 8.33 seconds respectively.
