Question

A baseball is thrown horizontally at 46 m/s. The ball slows down at a rate of 5 m/s2. How long is the ball in the air before coming to rest?

Answer 1

9.2 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 46 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-5 m/s²) t + 46 m/s

t = 9.2 s
