Question

A ball is thrown vertically upwards. It returns 6s later. Calculate : (1) the greatest height reached by the ball, and (2) the initial velocity of the ball. (Take g=9.8m/s2) ​

Answer 1

greatest displacement = 44.1m

initial velocity= 29.4m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest displacement

s=1/2at^2

= (9.8/2 ×9)m

= 44.1m

initial velocity

s=ut-1/2at^2

44.1= 3u -(1/2×9.8×9)

44.1=3u-44.1

3u=88.2

u=29.4m/s
