I think u useA ball is thrown vertically upwards at 16ms^-1. What is the velocity after 2 seconds
(acceleration is 9.8 m/s/s)
Can someone please show working.
Thanks in advance
Umm... so if you throw something up it accelerates and gravity pushes it up?I think u use
v = u + at
u(initial velocity) = 16 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s/s
t = 2 s
v = 16 + 9.8(2)
v= 35.6 m/s
If it's not right
Im sorry ><
LOL yeah KnowUmm... so if you throw something up it accelerates and gravity pushes it up?
lol... gravity is working against the object, so the acceleration (deceleration) is -9.8ms-1
That confuses me. Is that the average acceleration?A ball is thrown vertically upwards at 16ms^-1. What is the velocity after 2 seconds

constant acceleration of gravityThat confuses me. Is that the average acceleration?
I don't think the question will be exactly written as that.
Sorry, just saying.
You did + 9.8And is the displacement after 2 seconds 51.6m?
What how can that be, it was only two seconds.And is the displacement after 2 seconds 51.6m?
lol... gravity is constant... it doesn't change...That confuses me. Is that the average acceleration?
I don't think the question will be exactly written as that.
Sorry, just saying.
Lol i'v done this topic firstCan't wait to do this topic... seems so math-like
Yep, it's always accelerating at -9.8ms-2.No i was thinking that at 2 seconds, it is accerlerating at 9.8m/s
No! I meant the ball was going +9.8m/s.Yep, it's always accelerating at -9.8ms-1.
the ball accelerates vertically upwards to the air lOL at 9.8 m/s/sYep, it's always accelerating at -9.8ms-1.
I see where i tripped up.You did + 9.8
the formula is r = ut = 1/2at^2
r = 16 x 2 + 1/2 x - 9.8 x 2^2
r = 12.4 m
No problemI see where i tripped up.
Thanks so much..
WHAT? Instantaneously or...?the ball accelerates vertically upwards to the air lOL at 9.8 m/s/s
