Answer:
15.24 m/s in the downward direction
Explanation:
Given that the initial upward velocity of the ball is 24 m/s.
Assuming that the upward direction is positive.
As gravitational force acts in the downward direction and the direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of force, so the acceleration due to gravity will be negative.
Now, from the equation of motion, when an object is launched with initial velocity u, the final velocity, v, of an object after time t is v=u+at.
Given that u=24 m/s, t=4 seconds, .
So, the final velocity is
m/s
Here, the negative sign means the final velocity is in the downward direction.
Hence, the velocity after 4 seconds is 15.24 m/s in the downward direction.
Answer:
7 m/s
Explanation:
To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.
That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.
The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:
K1=U2
Solve for v
Input known values and you get 7 m/s.
