A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight but catches it as it is falling back to earth. If the friend catches the ball 3.0 s after it is thrown, at what time did it pass him on its upward flight

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]t=1.9 sec[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]h=28m[/tex]

Time [tex]t=3s[/tex]

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

 [tex]s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

 [tex]28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2[/tex]

 [tex]u=24.03m/s[/tex]

Generally the velocity at  elevation and depression occurs  as ball arrives and passes through S=28

 [tex]v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}[/tex]

 [tex]v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s[/tex]

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity  is mathematically given by

 [tex]v=u+at[/tex]

 [tex]5.35=24.03-9.8t[/tex]

 [tex]t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}[/tex]

 [tex]t=1.9 sec[/tex]
