Answer:
1.84 m from the initial point (3.16 m from the ceiling)
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, the initial kinetic energy of the ball will be converted into gravitational potential energy at the point of maximum height.
Therefore, we can write:
where
m = 2 kg is the mass of the ball
v = 6 m/s is the initial speed of the ball
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
is the change in height of the ball
Solving for ,
So, the ball raises 1.84 compared to its initial height.
Therefore:
- if we take the initial position of the ball as reference point, its maximum height is at 1.84 m
- if we take the ceiling as reference point, the maximum height of the ball will be
5 m - 1.84 m = 3.16 m from the ceiling
