Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}$

Explanation:

The unit of speed is metre per second or m / s. It clearly depends on two fundamental units ; unit of length ( metre ) and unit of time ( second ). Hence , m/s is a derived unit.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

The unit of speed is m/s. The two terms metre and second are fundamental quantities.

As,m/s is derived from these two fundamental quantities. Therefore, Unit of speed is a derived unit.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given maximum height reached by the ball as H = 40 metres

Since the ball rises straight up when hit by a ball, then the angle of launch will be perpendicular to the ground and that is 90°.

To determine the upward speed of the ball in meters per second after it got struck by the bat, we will use the formula for calculating the maximum height according to projectile motion;

Maximum Height H = $\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$ where;

u is the speed of the ball

$\theta$ is the angle of launch

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

$40 = \frac{u^2sin^2(90)}{2(9.81)}\\ \\40 = \frac{u^2}{2(9.81)}\\ \\40 = \frac{u^2}{19.62} \\cross\ multiply\\\\u^2 = 40*19.62\\u^2 = 784.8\\u = \sqrt{784.8}\\ u = 28.01 m/s$
