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>

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

$0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\$
