Question

Someone help me?

Isaac throws an apple straight up in the positive direction) from 15 m above the ground, reaching a
maximum height of 38 meters. Neglecting air resistance, what is the ball's velocity when it hits the
ground?​

Answer 1

-27.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 38 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 38 m)

v = -27.3 m/s

Or, you can solve with energy.

PE = KE

mgh = ½ mv²

v² = 2gh

v = -27.3 m/s
