Question

Say you throw a ball straight up into the air and catch it again. The ball reaches a height of 5 m up from your hand before it falls back down and you catch it. The ball is in flight for 2 seconds of time. Determine the ball’s... average velocity average speed

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the heigth up is 5m

then the

distance up = 5m

distance down= 5m

time taken up= 1sec

time taken down= 1sec

average speed= (5+5)/1+1= 10/2= 5m/s

hence the speed up = 5m/s

speed down = 5m/s

average voelocity= 5+5/2 = 10/2= 5m/s
