A ball is tossed upward at 15 meters / second from a height of 12 meters above the ground. Assume a uniform downward acceleration of 10 m/s^2 (an approximation within 2% of the 9.8 m/s^2 acceleration of gravity).
How high does it rise and how long does it take to get to its highest point?
How fast is it then going when it hits the ground, and how long after the initial toss does it first strike the ground?
At what clock time(s) will the speed of the ball be 5 meters / second?
At what clock time(s) will the ball be 20 meters above the ground?
How high will it be at the end of the sixth second?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Height= 24.5 meters
24.5 m/s^2
1 second v0=15 downward acceleration=10m/s^2 15-10(1)=5
1.2 seconds clock time when ball is 20 meters above ground. 12 meters starting point 15m/s
Zero meters after 6 seconds.
