The initial velocity is 0.65 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the roller coaster is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:
where
s is the displacement
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time
For the roller coaster in this problem:
v = 35 m/s
t = 2.3 s
s = 41 m
Solving the equation for u, we find the initial velocity:

Answer:
d = 19.796m
Explanation:
Since the ball is in the air for 4.02 seconds, the ball should reach the maximum point from the ground in half the total time, therefore, t=2.01s to reach maximum height. At the maximum height, the velocity in the y-direction is 0.
So we know t=2.01, vi=0, g=a=9.8m/s and we are solving for d.
Next, you look for a kinematic equation that has these parameters and the one you should choose is:
Now by substituting values in, we get
d = 19.796m
