** **

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?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> discussion:

15m/s -10m/s/s *1.5sec= 0m/s it takes 1.5seconds (15m/s+0m/s)/2= 7.5m/s * 1.5= 11m. I'm not sure if this is the highest

point. It's the best guess I could come up with through my reasoning.

*

How fast is it then going when it hits the ground, and how long after the initial toss does it first strike the ground?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> discussion:

If it's highest point is 11m and it started 12m above ground it would have to go 23m before hitting the ground. I'm not exactly sure yet

how to answer the rest of the question.

At what clock time(s) will the speed of the ball be 5 meters / second?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> discussion:

15m/s -10m/s/s= 5m/s in 1 second, then again in 2seconds

#$&*

*

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?

I'm not sure yet how to get to this answer
