![**Problem 2**: What is the displacement of a ball that is thrown up at 14.0 m/s one second after being thrown?
To understand the problem, we can apply physics principles, particularly the equations of motion under constant acceleration due to gravity (approximately \(-9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\) downward).
We will need to calculate the displacement (change in position) of the ball one second after it is thrown. The initial velocity (\(u\)) is \(14.0 \, \text{m/s}\) upward, and time (\(t\)) is \(1 \, \text{s}\).
The formula for displacement (\(s\)) is:
\[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \]
Where:
- \(u\) is the initial velocity,
- \(a\) is the acceleration due to gravity (use \(-9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\)),
- \(t\) is the time.
Substitute the known values:
\[ s = 14.0 \, \text{m/s} \times 1 \, \text{s} + \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2) \times (1 \, \text{s})^2 \]
\[ s = 14.0 \, \text{m} - 4.9 \, \text{m} \]
\[ s = 9.1 \, \text{m} \]
Therefore, the displacement of the ball after one second is \(9.1 \, \text{m}\) upward.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe44e0876-942a-4733-ac3b-899fc9beb500%2F070e5900-acd8-49d3-be8b-9c3b47c011d8%2Fkrkgbpq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
