A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 29.4 meters per second. What is the maximum height reached by the ball? ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The maximum height reached is approximately 44.1 meters

Explanation:

The upward (vertical) velocity of the ball = 29.4 meters per second

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball under gravity, is presented as follows;

v² = u² - 2 × g × s

Where;

v = The final velocity of the ball = 0 at maximum height

u = The initial vertical velocity with which the ball was thrown= 29.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

s = The height reached by the ball = [tex]s_{max}[/tex] at maximum height

∴ 0 = 29.4² - 2 × 9.8 × [tex]s_{max}[/tex]

29.4² = 2 × 9.8 × [tex]s_{max}[/tex]  = 19.6·[tex]s_{max}[/tex]

[tex]s_{max}[/tex]  = 29.4³/19.6 = 864.36/19.6 = 44.1 meters

[tex]s_{max}[/tex]  = The maximum height reached = 44.1 meters.

The maximum height reached by the ball is 43.2 meters.

Using the formula:

v² = u² + 2gH

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

At maximum height, v = 0. Given that u = 29.4 m/s, g = -10 m/s (moving upward). Hence:

0² = 29.4² + 2(-10)H

20h = 29.4²

h = 43.2 meters

The maximum height reached by the ball is 43.2 meters.
