A ball is launched vertically upward from the edge of a cliff. The ball reaches its maximum height 1.6 seconds after launch. Bar

ely missing the edge of the cliff as it falls downward, the ball strikes the ground 6 seconds after being launched. a) What was the ball's initial velocity? b) What is the maximum height the ball reached above the cliff? c) How tall is the cliff?

Answer: a) 60m/s b) 360m c) 180m

Explanation:

Projectile motion occurs when an object launched into space falls freely under the influence of gravity.

If the time of flight (T) = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the velocity of the object

theta is the angle at which the object was thrown

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given T = 6 seconds

theta= 90°(object launched upwards)

g = 10m/s²

U= ?

Substituting in the formula we have;

6 = Usin90°/10

60 = Usin90°

since sin90° = 1

U = 60m/s

The balls initial velocity is 60m/s.

b) Maximum Height reached (H) = U²sin²theta/g

Given U = 60m/s, theta = 90° g = 10m/s²

H = 60²(sin90°)²/10

H = 3600/10

H = 360m.

The maximum height reached is 360m

c) at maximum height, v = 0

Using v² = u² - 2gh

0 = 60² - 2(10)h

-3600 = -20h

h = 3600/20

h = 180m

The cliff is 180m tall

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! What displacement did the object undergo in the time interval between t= 2.0s and t=8.0s?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Displacement s = (u+v)*t/2 (t refers to delta time)
= (0.45 + 2.7)*6/2
= 3.15*3
= 9.45 m

During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a vel
zmey [24]

Answer:

Mass of receiver is 92 kg        

Explanation:

We have given mass of tackler m_1=100kg

Let the mass of receiver is m_2kg

When tackler moving alone velocity is v_i=4.8 m/sec

And when tackler and receiver is together velocity is v_f = 2.5 m/sec

So from conservation of momentum

m_1v_i=(m_1+m_2)v_f

100\times 4.8=(100+m_2)\times 2.5

2.5m_2+250=480

2.5m_2=230

m_2=92kg

So mass of receiver is 92 kg
