Answer:
5080.86m
Explanation:
We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:


We must consider that it's launched from the ground (
) and from rest (
), with an upwards acceleration
that lasts a time t=9.7s.
We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 (
) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 (
), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration
. For the data we have it's faster to use the formula
, where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:

Then, to get
, we do:



And we substitute the values:

Answer:
11:1
Explanation:
At constant acceleration, an object's position is:
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
Given y₀ = 0, v₀ = u, and a = -g:
y = u t − ½g t²
After 6 seconds, the ball reaches the maximum height (v = 0).
v = at + v₀
0 = (-g)(6) + u
u = 6g
Substituting:
y = 6g t − ½g t²
The displacement between t=0 and t=1 is:
Δy = [ 6g (1) − ½g (1)² ] − [ 6g (0) − ½g (0)² ]
Δy = 6g − ½g
Δy = 5½g
The displacement between t=6 and t=7 is:
Δy = [ 6g (7) − ½g (7)² ] − [ 6g (6) − ½g (6)² ]
Δy = (42g − 24½g) − (36g − 18g)
Δy = 17½g − 18g
Δy = -½g
So the ratio of the distances traveled is:
(5½g) / (½g)
11 / 1
The ratio is 11:1.
The answer would be 2.63. Your welcome. This has been changed to the correct answer.
