B.) Venus and Uranus
All of the planets move in an eastward direction except Venus and Urunus
When an object falls or is dropped from rest it's initial velocity is zero.
Using the equations for a motion in straight line. I can find the time it takes to reach 3.0 m down (half way).
x = vt - 4.9t²
-3 = 0 - 4.9t²
-3/-4.9 = t²
0.6122 = t²
0.7825 sec = t
v = v - gt
v = 0 - 9.8(0.7825)
v = -7.67 m/s
the negative denotes downward direction.
You could also solve the problem using potential and kinetic energy.
Since it starts with maximum PE and gets converted to KE when it hits the ground. mgh = mv²/2
mass cancels, use 3 meters for the halfway distance
-9.8(-3) = v²/2
29.4 * 2 = v²
√(58.8) = 7.67 m/s downwards
Answer:
a) 29.36 m
b) 2.44 s
c) 2.57 s
d) 25.117 m/s
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity = 24 m/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
b)
Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 2.44 seconds
a)
The highest point reached by the ball above its release point is 29.36 m
c) Total height is 3+29.35 = 32.35 m
The ball reaches the ground 2.57 seconds after reaching the highest point
d)
The ball will hit the ground at 25.2117 m/s
