Answers
Explanation:
(a) Time of ascent is equal to the time of descent. The ball takes a total of 6 s for its upward and downward journey. Hence, it has taken 3 s to attain the maximum height. Hence, the ball was thrown upwards with a velocity of 29.4 m s−1.
Answer:
Explanation:
- Time taken to return back = 10 s
- Final velocity = 0 m/s
- The velocity with which it was thrown upwards
- The maximum height it reaches
- Its position after 4 s
➺ By given the total time it takes to go up and come back down is 10 s.
➺ Hence time taken to reach the maximum height = 5 s
Initial velocity:
➺ Now we have to find the initial velocity of the body.
➺ By the first equation of motion,
v = u + at
where v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time taken
➺ Substituting the data,
0 = u - 10 × 5
➺ Here acceleration (a) = g = -10 m/s² since the motion of the body is in the direction opposite to that of acceleration due to gravity.
0 = u + -50
u = 50 m/s
➺ Hence the initial velocity of the object is 50 m/s.
➺ Now we have to find the maximum height attained by the body.
➺ By the third equation of motion,
v² - u² = 2as
where v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = displacement
➺ Substituting the data,
0² - 50² = 2 × -10 × s
-2500 = -20 s
s = 2500/20
s = 125 m
➺ Hence the maximum height attained by the body is 125 m.
Position of the object after 4 s:
➺ Now we have to find the position of the body after 4 seconds.
➺ By the second equation of motion,
s = ut + 1/2 at²
where s = distance travelled
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time taken
➺ Substitute the data,
s = 50 × 4 + 1/2 × -10 × 4²
s = 200 - 80
s = 120 m
➺ Hence position of the ball after 4 s is 120 m above the ground.
