Question

What height will the object reach? 12 points. Will give brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer:

12.7 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 56.7 Km/hr

Maximum height (h) =..?

First, we shall convert 56.7 Km/hr to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (m/s) = 56.7 x 1000/3600

Initial velocity (m/s) = 15.75 m/s

Next, we shall determine the time taken to get to the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 15.75 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

v = u – gt (since the ball is going against gravity)

0 = 15.75 – 9.8 × t

Rearrange

9.8 × t = 15.75

Divide both side by 9.8

t = 15.75/9.8

t = 1.61 secs.

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height as follow

h = ½gt²

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 1.61 secs.

Height (h) =..?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 1.61²

h = 4.9 x 1.61²

h = 12.7 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 12.7 m
