We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are
(-5,0) and (1,0)
So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle
lets find the length of the base using the distance formula
the base b=6
We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation
y=a(0+5)(0-1)
y=-5a
so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)
We know that the area of the triangle =
× 6 × (5a) = 12
15a=12
a=
Answer:
<em>The ball's speed will be 10 m/s at t=1.22 seconds</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical motion of an object is controlled by the force of gravity. This means that there is a non-zero net force acting on the object that makes it accelerate downwards.
If the object is thrown upwards at speed vo, its speed at time t is:
Where g is the acceleration of gravity
Our ball is thrown upwards with v0=22 m/s. We need to calculate the time when its speed is vf=10 m/s.
Solving the above equation for t:
Substituting:
t=1.22 seconds
The ball's speed will be 10 m/s at t=1.22 seconds
