If an object is thrown straight up from the ground what velocity does it need to be thrown in order to reach a height of 50 ft?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Object is thrown with a velocity of 56.74 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given height h = 50 feet

When the object reach at its maximum height its final velocity will be o

So final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=-32.2feet/sec^2[/tex] ( Negative sign is due to upward direction )

From third equation of motion

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

[tex]0^2=u^2-2\times 32.2\times 50[/tex]

[tex]u^2=3220[/tex]

[tex]u=56.74m/sec[/tex]

So object is thrown with a velocity of 56.74 m/sec

Answer:

40 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

height h = 50 ft

final velocity v would be zero.

acceleration a = -32 ft/sec^2

we kn that

u^2=v^2+2ah

u^2= 0^2- 32×50

u= √(32×50)

u= 40 ft/sec

the object must be thrown with the velocity of 40 ft/sec
