A ball is thrown with velocity of 10 m/s upwards. If the ball is caught 1 m above its initial position, what is the speed of the ball when it is caught?

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 8.96 m/s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the ball, u = 10 m/s

It caught 1 meter above its initial position.

Acceleration due to gravity, [tex]g=-9.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

We need to find the final speed of the ball when it is caught. Let is equal to v. To find the value of v, use third equation of motion as :

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

[tex]v^2=2as+u^2[/tex]

[tex]v^2=2(-9.8)\times 1+(10)^2[/tex]

v = 8.96 m/s

So, the speed of the ball when it is caught is 8.96 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

8.96 m/s, upward direction

Explanation:

Given that, the initial velocity of the ball is,

[tex]u=10m/s[/tex]

And the acceleration in the downward direction is positive but in this situation the acceleration will be negative so,

[tex]a=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]

And according to question vertical displacement is,

[tex]s=1m[/tex]

Now suppose v be the final velocity of the ball.

Applying third equation of motion,

[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}+2as[/tex]

Here, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, s is the displacement.

Substitute all the variables.

[tex]v=\sqrt{10^{2}+2(-9.8)\times 1 } \\v=\sqrt{80.4}\\ v=8.96\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of ball when it is caught is 8.96 m/s in the upward direction.
