Question

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30

m/s. What is the maximum height reached by
the ball?

Answer 1

The maximum height reached by the ball is 45.92 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum height reached by a ball thrown straight up, we can use the kinematic equation:

h = (v02)/(2g)

Where:

• h is the maximum height
• v0 is the initial velocity (30 m/s)
• g is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s²)

Plugging in the values, we get:

h = (302)/(2*(-9.8))

Simplifying the equation gives:

h = 45.92 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 45.92 m.
