Answer:
Dy = 111.66 [m]
t = 3.5 [s]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the equations of kinematics.
where:
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vo = initial velocity = 27 [m/s]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
t = time = 3.5 [s]
Note: The negative sign of the equation means that the gravity acceleration goes in opposite direction
Vf = 27 - (9,81*3,5)
Vf = - 7.33 [m/s] (this negative sign indicates that at this moment the snowball is going downwards)
To find how high the snowball was we must use the following equation:
Dy = (27*3.5) + (0.5*9.81*3.5)
Dy = 94.5 + (17.16)
Dy = 111.66 [m]
