Question

An object is thrown directly up (positive direction) with a velocity (vo) of 20.0 m/s and do= 0. How high does it rise (v = 0 cm/s at top of rise). Remember, acceleration is -9.80 m/s2.
d = _________ m

A. 1.02
B. 2.04
C. 20.4
D. 40.8

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of d is 20.4 m.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity = 20 m/s

Final velocity = 0

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$v = u+gt$

Where, u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

Put the value into the formula

$t = \dfrac{20}{9.8}$

$t= 2.04\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

$s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.04)^2$

$s=20.4\ m$

Hence, The value of d is 20.4 m.
