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

Physics

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 fireworks shell is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 68.0 m/s over a distance of 0.230 m.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

(A) 10052.2 m/s²

(B)  0.00678 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

(A) Applying

V² = U²+2as..................... Equation 1

Where V = Final velocity, U = Initial velocity, a = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.

make a the subject of the  equation

a = (V²-U²)/2s........................ Equation 2

Given: U = 0 m/s( from rest), V = 68 m/s, s = 0.230 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = (68²-0²)/(2×0.230)

a = 10052.2 m/s²

(B) Using,

a = (V-U)/t......................... Equation 3

Where t= time.

make t the subject of the equation

t = (V-U)/a......................... Equation 4

Given: V = 68 m/s, U = 0 m/s, a = 10052.2

Substitute into equation 4

t = (68-0)/10052.2

t = 0.00678 seconds
