Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following:
Height or distance (s) = 2.83m
The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0
Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2
From the 3rd equation of motion:
V^2 = u^2 - 2gs
Where V = final velocity
u = initial velocity
Therefore, u = Vi
u = √Vf^2 - 2gs
u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)
u = √0 + 55.468
u = √55.468
u = 7.4476 m/s
u = 7.45m/s
