Answer:
Speed, u = 29.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that, A ball thrown straight up climbs for 3.0 sec before falling, t = 3 s
Let u is speed with which the ball is thrown up. When the ball falls, v = 0
Using first equation of motion as :
v = u + at
Here, a = -g
So, u = g × t

u = 29.4 m/s
So, the speed with which the ball was thrown is 29.4 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
