3010.176 years. 7.236 x 104 = 752.144. 1/2 = 4/8. 4 x 752.144 =
3010.176

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Height of ceiling is $h=3.6\ m$

Initial speed of Putty $u=9.5\ m/s$

Speed of Putty just before it strike the ceiling is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v^2-9.5^2=2\times (-9.8)\times 3.6$

$v^2=19.69$

$v=4.43\ m/s$

time taken by putty to reach the ceiling

$v=u+at$

$4.43=9.5-9.8\times t$

$t=\frac{5.07}{9.8}$

$t=0.517\ s$
