Answer:
(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .
(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
Explanation:
Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.
u is usually used for notation of initial notation.
Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.
The final velocity is denoted by v.
Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time
The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².
(a)
Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².
At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0
Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.
Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².
To find the time this to happen we use the following formula
![v=u+at](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%3Du%2Bat)
Here v=0
⇒0=128+(-32) t
⇒32t=128
⇒t = 4 sec
To determine the height we use the following formula
![s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%3Dut%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20at%5E2)
![\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20s%3D%20%28128%5Ctimes4%29%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctimes%20%28-32%29%20%5Ctimes4%5E2)
⇒s= 256 ft
Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .
(b)
At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.
so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec² [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft
To determine the time to fall we use the following formula
![s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%3Dut%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20at%5E2)
![\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20576%20%3D%20%280%5Ctimes%20t%29%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Ctimes%2032%20%5Ctimes%20t%5E2)
![\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%2016%5Ctimes%20t%5E2%3D576)
![\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20t%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B576%7D%7B16%7D)
![\Rightarrow t^2=36](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20t%5E2%3D36)
⇒t=6 sec
Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
