A boy tosses a football upward. If the football rises a vertical distance of 6.9m and the boy catches it at the same point he released it, what is the velocity of the ball just before he catches it? (Assume upward is the positive direction. )

Solutions

Expert Solution

While the ball is in air, acceleration of the ball is acceleration due to gravity

Since the ball is caught at the point of projection displacement is zero.

Using the equation

as

Hence

Since direction of initial and final velocity are opposite to each other.

________________________________________

Now applying the same equation, at top and bottom of trajectory

velocity at the top is

Displacement

Initial velocity is

____________________________________________________

Final velocity is

Negative sign indicates that velocity is downwards

A boy stands on a diving board and tosses a stone into a swimming pool. The stone is thrown from a height of 2.50 m above the water surface with a velocity of 4.00 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. As the stone strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down to exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water. After the stone enters the water,...

4. A boy stands on a diving board and tosses a stone into a swimming pool. The stone is thrown from a height of 2.8 m above the water surface with a velocity of 5.6 m/s at 72 degrees above the horizontal. a) First determine the time it is airborne. (I got 1.48 sec) b) Now find its impact velocity. (Vx=2 m/s and Vy=9.17 m/s) As the stone impacts the water, it instantly slows down to half its previous velocity,...

A boy standing on the ground close to a building throws a ball vertically upward. From his measurements of the maximum height, y-max, to which the ball rises and the time required to reach this height, the boy calculates that the average velocity of the ball on its way up is 20 m/s. Five seconds after leaving the boys hand, the ball is caught by a girl who has stretched her arm out of a window some distance above the...

The mean throwing distance of a football for a Luis, a high school freshman quarterback, is 50 yards, with a standard deviation of three yards. The team coach tells Luis to adjust his grip to get more distance. The coach records the distances for 35 throws. For the 35 throws, Luis’s mean distance was 54 yards. The coach thought the different grip helped Luis throw farther than 50 yards. Conduct a hypothesis test using a preset α = 0.01. Assume...

A football player runs for a distance d1 = 8.55 m in 1.33 s, at an angle of θ = 62.1degrees to the 50-yard line, then turns left and runs a distance d2 = 10.68 m in 2.19 s, in a direction perpendicular to the 50-yard line. The diagram shows these two displacements relative to an xy coordinate system, where the x axis is parallel to the 50-yard line, and the y axis is perpendicular to the 50-yard line. What...
