Question

Bonus Points. A ball was thrown straight up in the air from 1.2 meter above the grouind. After 3 seconds the ball returnes to the ground. Determine the maximum height it reached.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

Distance above the ground, s = 1.2 m

Time taken by the ball, t = 3 s

Velocity of the ball, v = 1.2/3 = 0.4 m/s

Maximum height reached by the ball is then given by the formula

H = v² / 2g

H = 0.4² / 2 * 9.8

H = 0.16 / 19.6

H = 0.0082 m or rather, 0.82 cm
