The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.
<h3>What is the time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?</h3>
The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration
a = g = -9.8
downward (acceleration due to gravity).
By using Suvat equation:
v = u + at
where: v is the velocity at time t
u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity
a = g = -9.8 is the acceleration
To find the time t at which the velocity is v = 20.7 m/s
Therefore,
The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.
The complete question is:
A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 20.7 m/s upward?

#SPJ4
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s
-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.
-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================
-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is 14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s
-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.
As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.
