Suppose that a ball is thrown straight up in the air, and that a secondball is thrown straight upward two seconds after the first. It reaches thesame maximum height as the first ball, which is 6.00 m.a. What is the position of the first ball as a function of time, y1(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.b. What is the position of the second ball as a function of time, y2(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.c. Draw a y − t diagram of y1(t) and y2(t). Label the max heights, timeto max height for the first ball, and note the point corresponding to thetime and height of passing.d. When do the balls pass each other in the air? Assume the balls arebeing throw up adjacent to each other.e. At what height above y0 = 0 do the balls pass each other?f. Can you find the time of passing by just using the y − t diagram?
Hello. I am working on a problem with motion. 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.
Problem 1: If it takes 3 s for a ball to strike the ground when it
is released from rest, determine the height in meters of the
building from which it was released. Also, what is the velocity
of the ball when it strikes the ground?

- When given a velocity vs. time graph, draw the corresponding position vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs.
