Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s
We can solve this problem using the formula:
v² = u² - 2gh
where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.
At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s
v² = u² - 2gh
0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h
2(9.8)h = 24²
2(9.8)h = 576
19.6h = 576
h = 29.4 m
b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:
v = u - gt
0 = 24 - 9.8t
9.8t = 24
t = 2.45 s
The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s
