Question

A ball thrown vertically from the Highway is managed 3.0 s later by a person on a balcony located 14 m from the track floor. What is the initial speed of the ball?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Projectile motion is the motion of the particle in two dimension. The motion of the particle in projectile motion is the constant acceleration motion.  The component of the motion of the projectile along vertical axis is the motion with constant acceleration whereas, motion along horizontal axis is the constant velocity motion.

Given data:

A ball thrown vertically from the Highway

Time is,

t= 3 sec

The ball is managed by a person on a balcony located 14 m from the track floor

h= 14 m

a=g=-9.8 m/smoving upward

Formula used:

The velocity of the object is,

v=St

Where,

S- Displacement of the body

t- Time require 

Kinematical equation of motion is,

v=u+at

Where,

v- Final velocity

u- Initial velocity

a- Acceleration
