A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading 5 seconds after launch is shown at the right; the ball is moving downwards. At what approximate times would the ball be moving upward and display the following speedometer readings?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Start of the motion: 2 seconds

End on the motion: 1 second

Explanation:

The force acting on a body in free fall is the gravitational force

The approximate time at which the upward speed of the ball will be 20 m/s is 1.942 second

The approximate time at which the upward speed of the ball will be 30 m/s is 0.923 second

Question: Please find attached the required speedometer readings that can be used to complete the question

Reasons:

Known parameter;

The direction in which the ball is launched = Straight upward

The speedometer reading after 5 seconds  = 10 m/s moving downward

Required:

The time at which the ball will be moving upwards with a velocity of 20 m/s, and 30 m/s

Solution:

Taking upwards as positive, the formula for velocity is given as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The speed of the ball = -10 m/s (downward is negative)

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

u = The initial speed of the ball

-10 = u - 9.81 × 5

∴ u = -10 + 9.81 × 5 = 39.05

The initial upward speed of the ball at the time of launch, u = 39.05 m/s

The time at which the upward speed of the ball will be 20 m/s, we have;

v = 20 = u - g·t

∴ 20 = 39.05 - 9.81×t

[tex]t = \dfrac{20 - 39.05}{-9.81} =1\frac{308}{327} \approx 1.942[/tex]

The time at which the ball will be moving upwards at a speed of 20 m/s is t ≈ 1.942 s

Upward speed of 30 m/s

When the ball is moving upwards with a speed of 30 m/s, we have;

30 = 39.05 - 9.81 × t

[tex]t = \dfrac{30 - 39.05}{-9.81} = \dfrac{905}{981} \approx 0.923[/tex]

The time at which the ball will be moving upwards at a speed of 30 m/s is t ≈ 0.923 s
