Question

What is the maximum height of the ball if it's thrown vertically at 2m/s, and the gravity causes the ball to decelerate at 10m/s^2?

Answer 1

To find the maximum height of the ball when thrown vertically, we can use the following steps:

1. Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach its highest point: We know that the initial velocity (u) is 2 m/s and the acceleration (a) due to gravity is -10 m/s^2 (negative because it acts in the opposite direction to the motion). We can use the equation of motion: v = u + at,
