Motion of a ball thrown by a person upwards and caught after some time is an example of motion in which displacement of the particle is zero but acceleration is not zero in journey.
The displacement of the ball is zero because the starting and end point of the motion are same, i.e, the person's hands.During its motion, the acceleration of ball is constant and non zero called as acceleration due to gravity, g= -9.8 m/s². The velocity of ball is continuously changing. It first decreases during the upward motion of the ball and then increases during the downward journey.The acceleration remains constant and non zero all the time.
Answer:
d = 19.796m
Explanation:
Since the ball is in the air for 4.02 seconds, the ball should reach the maximum point from the ground in half the total time, therefore, t=2.01s to reach maximum height. At the maximum height, the velocity in the y-direction is 0.
So we know t=2.01, vi=0, g=a=9.8m/s and we are solving for d.
Next, you look for a kinematic equation that has these parameters and the one you should choose is:
Now by substituting values in, we get
d = 19.796m
Explanation:
A simple way to state Newton's first law is:
For every action force, there is a reaction force which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
