Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Vertical Launch Upwards</u>
In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up without taking into consideration friction with the air.
If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:
The tennis ball was thrown straight up with a speed of v0=22.5 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is g=9.81\ m/s^2, thus:
Answer:
1.08 m/s
Explanation:
This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.
Time taken to fall 9.5 m
vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.
vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )
distance traveled s = 9.5 m.
Substituting these values in the equation
⇒ t= 1.392 sec
Velocity needed
We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,
So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s
hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s
