1) The final velocity of the object is -78 m/s (downward)
2) The final height of the object is -290 m
Explanation:
1)
When the object is thrown up, it follows a free fall motion, subjected only to the force of gravity (that pulls the object downward). Therefore, the object has a constant acceleration
towards the ground (acceleration of gravity).
Since this is a motion with constant acceleration, we can use the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a = g is the acceleration
t is the time of flight
In this problem we have:
u = +20 m/s (taking upward as positive direction)
t = 10 s is the time of flight
(downward, so negative)
Solving for v, we find the final velocity:
2)
For this part of the problem, we can use another suvat equation:
where
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
s is the displacement of the object
In this problem,
u = +20 m/s
t = 10 s
Substituting, we find the final position of the object with respect to the initial position:
