A ball is thrown straight downward with a speed of 0.50 meter per second from a height of 4.0 meters. What is the speed of the ball 0.70 seconds after it is released?

Respuesta :

Answer: The speed of the ball 0.70 seconds after release is 7.36 m/s

     

Explanation:

Using equation of motion in vertical direction and considering downward direction as positive

[tex]v_y=u_y +a_yt[/tex]

where [tex]u_y= 0.50 \frac{m}{s} , a_y=g=9.80 \frac{m}{s^{2}} , t=0.70s[/tex]

=> [tex]v_y=(0.5+9.8\times 0.70) \frac{m}{s}= 7.36\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Thus the speed of the ball 0.70 seconds after release is 7.36 m/s

The speed of the ball at the given time after it was released is 7.36m/s

Given the data in the question

  • Initial velocity of the ball; [tex]u = 0.50m/s[/tex]
  • Height or distance from which it was thrown from; [tex]h = 4.0 m[/tex]
  • Time; [tex]t = 0.70s[/tex]
  • Final velocity; [tex]v = \ ?[/tex]

To get the speed of the ball 0.70 seconds after it is released.

We use the First Equation of Motion:

[tex]v = u + at[/tex]

Where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration.

Since the ball was thrown from a particular height, it is under gravity and acceleration due to gravity [tex]g = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Hence, the equation becomes

[tex]v = u + gt[/tex]

We substitute our given values into the equation and find "v"

[tex]v = 0.50m/s + ( 9.8m/s^2\ *\ 0.70s )\\\\v = 0.5m/s + 6.86 m/s\\\\v = 7.36m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of the ball at the given time after it was released is 7.36m/s
