A tennis ball is hit straight up at 20 m/s from the edge of a sheer cliff. Some time later, the ball passes the original height

from which it was hit. (Ignore the effects of air resistance.) (a) How fast is the ball moving at that time? m/s (b) If the cliff is 50 m high, how long will it take the ball to reach the ground level? s (c) What total distance did the ball travel? m

Answer:

a) 20 m/s

b) 5.83 seconds

c) 90.78 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=20-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-20}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=2.04\ s

Time taken to reach maximum height is 1.22 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 2.04+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 2.04^2\\\Rightarrow s=20.39\ m

So, the stone would travel 20.39 m up

s = 20.39 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v^2=2as+u^2\\\Rightarrow v^2=2\times 9.81\times 20.39+0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 20.39}\\\Rightarrow u=20\ m/s

The ball is moving a 20 m/s at the time the ball passes the original height from which it was hit

b) Total height stone would fall is 20.39+50 = 70.39 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 70.39=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{70.39\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.79\ s

Time taken by the ball to travel 70.39 m is 3.79 seconds

Total time taken by the ball to reach the ground from the time it left the person's hand is 2.04+3.79 = 5.83 seconds.

c) The ball travelled a distance of 20.39+50+20.39 = 90.78 m
