A 0.4 kg ball is thrown straight up into the air with a velocity of 12.2 m/s. What maximum height will it reach?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Maximum height is 7.59 m.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a ball is 0.4 kg

It is thrown straight up into the air with a velocity of 12.2 m/s.

It is required to find the maximum height reached by the ball.

Concept used : Law of conservation of energy.

Solution,

Here, the energy of the ball remains conserved. Let h is the maximum height reached by the ball such that,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(12.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=7.59\ m[/tex]

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 7.59 m.
