In: Physics
a ball thrown straight up returns to its starting height in 7.2s.its initial speed was----------m/s.
Answer: Initial speed was 35.3 m/s.
Explanation:
We have given the total time of flight of the ball :
We know that the time required for the ascending journey is same as time for descending journey for any object under the influence of the gravitational force.
Therefore, the time for the ball to reach maximum height is,
From kinematic equation we have,
Where,
This was the initial speed of the ball.
