Question

A ball of mass m is dropped from a height h above the ground. neglecting air resistance then determine the speed of the ball when it is at a height y above the ground and determine the speed of the ball at y if at the instant of release it already has an initial upward speed vi at the initial altitude h.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

kinematic equation (g will have a negative value if we assume UP is positive)

v² = u² + 2as

a) v = √(0² + 2(g)(y - h))

b) v = √(vi² + 2(g)(y - h))
