The questions asks me to calculate the maximum height (h1), total time (t2), and speed of a ball right before it hits the ground. The question states that A person is throwing a ball upward into the air with an initial speed Vo = 10m/s. Assume that the instant when the ball is released, the person's hand is at a height ho = 1.5m. The speed of the ball at its peak height is zero, and the question needs to be solved in ascending part and descending part. I don't understand how to solve for the maximum height. What is the correct formula to use and why? For other questions like this, I will be able to solve them if I know the formulas for the ascending of the ball and the descent of the ball as well as the explanation. Thank you. For the sake of the question, the ball is being thrown straight up.arrow_forward
- A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). Assume that g = 10 m/s2. What is the greatest height (in meters) reached by the ball?arrow_forwardDong and Rigo are playing their slingshot, both of them shot a pebble vertically upward. Rigo shot after Dong, but while the Dong’s pebble is still on its way up. The initial speeds are such that both pebbles reach their maximum height at the same instant, although these heights are different. Suppose that the initial speed of the Dong’s pebble is 40.6 m/s and that Rigo’s pebble is shot 1.25s after Dong’s, determined the initial velocity of the Rigo’s pebble.arrow_forwardA helicopter starts ascending in the sky from the ground and its position is given by y = 5t^2 + 10t.
