A ball thrown up vertically returns to the thrower after 6s.Find
(a) The velocity with which it was thrown up.
(b) The maximum height it reaches
(c) It's position after4s.
Answers
(a) Consider,
upward gravity = -9.8 m/s2
Total time (to and fro)= 6 s, so, upward journey = 6/2 = 3 s
Initial velocity (u) = ?
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
From First equation of motion,
Final velocity = Initial velocity +gt
or, 0 = u + (-9.8 X3)
or, u = 29.4 m/s
So, The velocity at which ball is thrown in the upward direction is 29.4 m/s.
(b) the maximum height (hmax) is reached by a ball
Second equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2 gt2
here s = the maximum height (hmax)
or , hmax =(29.4 X 3) + 1/2 (-9.8)(3)2
hmax = 44.1 m
(c) Position of the ball after 4s is
From Second equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2 gt2
or, s = (29.4X4) + 1/2 X (-9.8)(4)2
or, s = 117.6 - 78.4 = 39.2 m
_/\_Hello mate__here is your answer--
_______________________
The ball takes a total of 6 s for its upward and downward journey. (Time of ascent is equal to the time of descent.)
Hence, it has taken 3 s to reach at the maximum height.
v = 0 m/s
g = −9.8 ms−2
Using equation of motion,
v = u + at
⇒0 = u + (−9.8 × 3)
⇒ u = 9.8 × 3 = 29.4 m/s
Hence, the ball was thrown upwards with a velocity of 29.4 m/s.
_________________________
Let the maximum height attained by the ball be h.
u = 29.4 m/s
v = 0 m/s
g = −9.8 ms−2 (upward direction)
Using the equation of motion,
s = ut +1/2 gt^2
⇒ hℎ = 29.4 × 3 −1/2 × 9.8 × 32
⇒ ℎh = 44.1 m
Hence, the maximum height is 44.1 m.
_________________________
Ball attains the maximum height after 3 s. After attaining this height, it will start falling downwards.
In this case,
u = 0 m/s
Position of the ball after 4 s − 3 s = 1 s can calculate by Using the equation of motion,
s= ut +1/2gt^2
⇒ h= 0 × 1 +1/2 × 9.8 × 12
⇒ h= 4.9 m
Now, total height = 44.1 m This means, the ball is 39.2 m (44.1 m − 4.9 m) above the ground after 4 seconds.
I hope, this will help you.☺
Thank you______❤
