(a)
Answer to Problem 86PPE
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
S throws a ball in the air. The graph shows the height of the ball as a function of time.
N also throws a ball in the air. His throw begins at a height of 2 feet. The ball travels up to 30 feet in 2 seconds and then comes back down to the ground after 4 seconds.
Calculation:
Both balls come down after 4 seconds means there is time in axis.
Hence,
(b)
To compare: the initial point of the balls.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
S throws a ball in the air. The graph shows the height of the ball as a function of time.
N also throws a ball in the air. His throw begins at a height of 2 feet. The ball travels up to 30 feet in 2 seconds and then comes back down to the ground after 4 seconds.
Calculation:
Both balls do not start from same height as N’s ball beings at the height of 2 feet from the ground but S’s ball beings from ground. Hence both are at different height. Show the graph also.
(c)
To find: the ball which goes higher in the air.
(c)
Answer to Problem 86PPE
N’s ball will go heigher in the air.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
S throws a ball in the air. The graph shows the height of the ball as a function of time.
N also throws a ball in the air. His throw begins at a height of 2 feet. The ball travels up to 30 feet in 2 seconds and then comes back down to the ground after 4 seconds.
Calculation:
N’s ball will go heigher in the air as both ball travels 30 feet in 2 seconds but N’s ball is ready at height of 2 feet from the so its total height will be 32 feet.
