A ball is thrown straight up at 20 m. What is the balls velocity as it hits the ground?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

<em>The velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s</em>

Explanation:

Velocity: Velocity of a body can be defined as the rate of change of displacement of the body. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s. velocity is expressed in one of newtons equation of motion, and is given below.

v² = u² + 2gs.......................... Equation 1

Where v = the final velocity of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, s = the height of the ball

<em>Given: s = 20 m, u = 0 m/s</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>v² = 0 + 2×9.8×20</em>

<em>v² = 392</em>

<em>v = √392</em>

<em>v = 19.799 m/s.</em>

<em>Therefore the velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s</em>

A car initially at rest accelerates at 10m/s^2. The car’s speed after it has traveled 25 meters is most nearly... A.) 0.0m/s B.)
STALIN [3.7K]

The car traverses a distance x after time t according to

x=\dfrac12at^2

where a is its acceleration, 10 m/s^2. The time it takes for the car to travel 25 m is

25\,\mathrm m=\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt 5\,\mathrm s

5 is pretty close to 4, so we can approximate the square root of 5 by 2. Then the car's velocity v after 2 s of travel is given by

v=\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2\,\mathrm s)\approx20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

which makes C the most likely answer.

50 points!!! Kinetics
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

98 m √

Explanation:

How about s = Vo * t + ½at² ?

s = h = Vo * 2s - 4.9m/s² * (2s)² = 2Vo - 19.6

and

h = Vo * 10s - 4.9m/s² * (10s)² = 10Vo - 490

Subtract 2nd from first:

0 = -8Vo + 470.4

Vo = 58.8 m/s

h = 58.8m/s * 2s - 4.9m/s² * (2s)² = 98 m
