Percy throws a baseball straight up into the air with a velocity of 16 m/s from the balcony of his apartment 20m above ground. How long does it take for the baseball to land on the ground?
Added by Nicholas J.
Step 1
To find the time it takes for the baseball to reach its maximum height, we can use the kinematic equation: vf = vi + at where: vf = final velocity (0 m/s at the maximum height) vi = initial velocity (16 m/s) a = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s^2) t = Show more…

A baseball is thrown upward at an initial velocity of 9.2m/s, from a height of 1.6m above the ground. The height of the baseball, in metres, above the ground after t seconds is modelled by the equation h = -4.9t^2 + 9.2t + 1.6. How long does it take the baseball to fall to the ground, rounded to the nearest tenth of a second?

A baseball is seen to pass upward by a window with a vertical speed of 16 m/s . The ball was thrown by a person 14 m below on the street. What was its initial speed? What altitude does it reach? What time elapsed since it was thrown? What time will it take the baseball to reach ground again, counting from the moment it passed the window upward?
