a tennis ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 22.5 m/s. how high does the ball rise? how long does it remain in the air? hint: the time it take the ball to rise equals the time it takes to fall. use a value of -10 m/s/s for gravity.



Answer :

4.5 seconds it remain in the air after it remain in the air after thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 22.5 m/s

u initial velocity, final velocity v, distance  s and time taken t.

Now, u = 22.5 m/s

v = 0 (at highest point)

g(during upward motion) = -10 m/s^2

Using kinematics formula:

[tex]v^2-u^2=2gs[/tex]

0-(22.5)^(2)=2×-10 × s

=> - 506.25 = -20 s

=> s = 506.25/20

=> s = 25.3125 m

v = u +gt

=> 0 = 22.5 -10 t

=> t = 22.5/10

=> t = 2.25 seconds

Total time the ball remains in air

= Time taken in going up + Time taken in coming down

= 2.25 + 2.25

= 4.5 seconds
