Answer:
y = 3.159 m
Explanation:
Using the second equation of motion.
s = ut + 0.5at^2 .......1
Since the ball is thrown upward the acceleration due to gravity act against it.
Given:
distance s = y
Initial speed u = 12.0 m/s
Time t = 0.30 s
Acceleration a = -g = -9.8m/s^2
Equation 1 becomes;
y = ut - 0.5at^2
Substituting the given values. We have;
y = 12.0(0.30) - 0.5(9.8 × 0.3^2)
y = 3.6 - 0.441
y = 3.159 m
