a) 2.75 s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by the equation

y= h+ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4 m is the initial height of the ball

u = 12 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball (upward)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

We can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by substituting y=0 into the equation:

0 = 4 + 12t - 4.9 t^2

This is a second-order equation. By solving it for t, we find:

t = -0.30 s

t = 2.75 s

The first solution is negative, so we discard it; the second solution, t = 2.75 s, is the one we are looking for.

b) -15.0 m/s (downward)

The final velocity of the ball can be calculated by using the equation:

v=u-gt

where

u = 12 m/s is the initial (upward) velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

t is the time

By subsisuting t = 2.75 s, we find the velocity of the ball as it reaches the ground:

v=12 -(9.8)(2.75)=-15.0 m/s

And the negative sign means the direction is downward.

Consider a compact car that is being driven
aliina [53]

Answer:

Height h = 37.8 m

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of car (v) = 98 km / h

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Computation:

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration of gravity = (98)(1,000 m / 3,600 s)

Acceleration of gravity = 27.22 m/s

By using law of conservation of energy ;

(1/2)mv² = mgh

h = v² / 2g

h = 27.22² / 2(9.8)

Height h = 37.8 m
