You toss a 0.150-kg baseball straight upward so that it leaves your hand moving at 20.0 m/s. The ball reaches a maximum height y2. What is the speed of the ball when it is at a height of y2/2? Ignore air resistance.

Respuesta :

Answer:

14.14 m/s

Explanation:

mass of ball, m  0.150 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

g = 10 m/s²

The final velocity at the height is zero. Total height is y2.

Use third equation of motion,

v² = u² - 2 gh

0 = 20 x 20 - 2 x 10 x y2

y2 = 20 m

Let v is the velocity at height y2/2 .

v² = u² - 2 gh

v² = 20 x 20 - 2 x 10 x 10

v² = 400 - 200

v = 14.14 m/s

Thus, the velocity at half of the height is 14.14 m/s.

The speed of the ball will be 14.14 m/s.Speed is represented as the pace of change of the distance or the height attained.

What is speed ?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity. it is denoted by u for the initial speed while v for the final speed. its si unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass of all= 0.150 kg

u is the initial velocity= 20 m/s

g is the gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s²

v is the speed of ball  it is at a height of y2/2 =?

According to the Newtons third equation of motion for the final velcity v=0 m/sec;

[tex]\rm v^2 = u^2-2gh \\\\\rm 0^2 = (20)^2-2\times 9.81 \times y_2 \\\\ \rm y_2 = 20\ m[/tex]

If v is the velocity for the height  [tex]\rm \frac{y_2 }{2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm v^2 = u^2-2gh \\\\\rm v^2 = (20)^2-2\times 9.81 \times 10 \\\\ \rm v = 14.14 \ m/sec[/tex]

Hence the velocity at half of the height is 14.14 m/s.
