Knowing that when you throw something in the air, the speed will be 0m/s.
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

v2=0
v1=24
a=9.8

The formula is:
v2=v1+a(t)
v2-v1/a=t
0-24/9.8
24m/s/9.8m/s^2=t (You can choose which direction is positive and negative)
2.45s=t
t=2.45*2s (Since you calculate both going up and down)
t=4.9s

A 20 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the wall at time t=0 and slides away from the wall at
stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.516 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder L=20 ft

The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s

after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall

So, the other end of the ladder is at

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft

Also, at any instant t

\Rightarrow l^2=x^2+y^2

differentiate w.r.t.

\Rightarrow 0=2xv+2yv_y\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{x}{y}\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{5}{19.36}\times 2=0.516\ ft/s

A pendulum is hanging from a tower. The pendulum almost touches the ground and has a period of 18.0 s. What is the height of the
nadya68 [22]
We apply the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

L is the longitude of the pendulum (Height of the tower)

T is the period. (T = 18s)

We find L.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

L = g*(T /2π)^2...........> L = 80.428 meters
