Answer:
[tex]v_{i}=10.10 m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
The equation of the position is:
[tex]y=y_{i}+v_{i}t-0.5gt^{2}[/tex]
Where:
v(i) is the initial velocity
The initial position y(i) will be zero and the final position y = 3.60 m.
So, we just need to solve this equation for v(i).
[tex]v_{i}=\frac{y+0.5gt^{2}}{t}[/tex]
[tex]v_{i}=\frac{3.6+0.5*9.81*1.6^{2}}{1.6}[/tex]
[tex]v_{i}=10.10 m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the initial velocity is 10.10 m/s upwards.
I hope it helps you!
