A basketball is tossed up at an initial speed of 20 m/s.

Gravity slows the upward speed of any rising object by 9.8 m/s every second.

If the ball is tossed upward at 20 m/s, then it's at the top of its arc and its speed has dwindled to zero in (20/9.8) = 2.04 seconds.

During that time, its starting speed is 20 m/s and its ending speed is zero, so its AVERAGE speed all the way up is (1/2) (20 + 0)  =  10 m/s .

Sailing upward for 2.04 seconds at an average speed of 10 m/s, the ball rises to (2.04 x 10)  =  <em>20.4 meters.</em>

A helium-filled balloon is launched when the temperature at ground level is 27.8°c and the barometer reads 752 mmhg. if the ball
ololo11 [35]
The helium may be treated as an ideal gas, so that
(p*V)/T =constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume
T = temperature.

Note that
7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg = 1 Pa
1 L = 10⁻³ m³

Given:
At ground level,
p₁ = 752 mm Hg
     = (752 mm Hg)/(7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg/Pa)
     = 1.0026 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ = 9.47 x 10⁴ L = (9.47 x 10⁴ L)*(10⁻³ m³/L)
     = 94.7 m³
T₁ = 27.8 °C = 27.8 + 273 K
     = 300.8 K

At 36 km height,
P₂ = 73 mm Hg = 73/7.5006 x 10⁻³ Pa
     = 9.7326 x 10³ Pa
T₂ = 235 K

If the volume at  36 km height is V₂, then
V₂ = (T₂/p₂)*(p₁/T₁)*V₁
     = (235/9.7326 x 10³)*(1.0026 x 10⁵/300.8)*94.7
     = 762.15 m³

Answer: 762.2 m³
