Question

a volleyball is hit upward with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. calculate the displacement of the volleyball when its final velocity is 2.2m/s upwad

Answer 1

Answer:

The displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the volleyball, u = 7.5 m/s

final velocity of the volleyball, v = 2.2 m/s

displacement of the volleyball, d = ?

Apply the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2gd

2gd = u² - v²

$d = \frac{u^{2}-v^{2} }{2g}\\\\d = \frac{7.5^{2}-2.2^{2} }{2*9.8}\\\\d = 2.62 \ m$

Therefore, the displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m
