Question

Calculate the displacement and velocity at times of (a) 0.500 s, (b) 1.00 s, (c) 1.50 s, and (d) 2.00 s for a ball thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s. Take the point of release to be
y0=0.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

V = Deltax/Deltat

V = 15.0 m/s

Displacement:

(a) Vf = Vi + adeltat

Vf = 15.0m/s - 9.8m/s^2 x 0.500s = 10.1m/s

Displacement = (15.0m/s x 0.500s) - (0.5)(9.8m/s^2)(0.500s)^2 = 6.275m

(b) Vf = 15.0m/s - 9.8m/s^2 x 1.00s = 5.2m/s

Displacement = (15.0m/s x 1.00s) - (0.5)(9.8m/s^2)(1s)^2 = 10.1m

(c) Vf = 15.0m/s - 9.8m/s^2 x 1.50s = 14.7m/s

Displacement = (15.0m/s x 1.50s) - (0.5)(9.8m/s^2)(1.5s)^2 = 11.475m

(d) Vf = 15.0m/s - 9.8m/s^2 x 2.00s =  19.6m/s

Displacement = (15.0m/s x 2.00s) - (0.5)(9.8m/s^2)(2s)^2 = 10.4m
