Answer:
Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
A ball is projected upward with an initial velocity = 80.5 m per second.
Height of the roof from the ground is 90 m.
Equation that represents the relation between velocity and height when thrown upwards is
[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh[/tex]
Here final velocity v = 0, initial velocity u = 80.5 meter per second and g = 9.8 m per second²
0 = (80.5)² - 2(9.8)h
19.6h = 6480.25
h = [tex]\frac{6480.5}{19.6}=330.625[/tex] meters
Total height of the ball from the ground = 90 + 330.625 = 420.625 m
Now we have to calculate the velocity of the ball at the height = 89 m
Distance covered by the ball falling freely form the point above 420.625
Distance covered by the ball above 89 m = 420.625 - 89 = 331.625 m
We plug in the values in the formula
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(331.625)
v = √6499.85 = 80.62 m
≈ 81 m
And the sign notation will be negative
Therefore option D. (-81 m) is the answer.
