A ball thrown up vertically returns to the thrower after 4s. Find the
velocity with which is was thrown up.
Answers
Explanation:
I think distance covered data is missing
✔ Question :-
A ball is thrown up vertically , returns after 4 seconds
✔ To find :-
Velocity with which it was thrown up = ?
✔ Solution :-
Initial velocity ( u ) = ?
Final velocity ( v ) = 0 m/s [ since the ball reaches the ground at the same distance with opposite direction ]
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/sec²
[ ball is thrown upwards against the gravity hence the g becomes -9.8 m/sec² ]
Time taken = 4 seconds [ Given ]
According to first equation of motion :-
v = u + at
By substituting all the given information over here we get,
0 = u + ( -9.8)(4)
0 = u - 39.2
Therefore u = 39.2 m/s
The ball was thrown up with an 39.2 m/s by the thrower vertically
