You throw a ball straight down off a 10.0 m high bridge. Its initial velocity is 2.00 m/s down. (Ignore air drag.) a) How long does it take to reach the water? b) How fast is it going when it reaches the water?

Step 1
Since the ball is only affected by gravity, the acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 downward. Show more…

I throw a ball off a cliff that is 250 meters high. I throw the ball straight DOWNWARD at a velocity of 20 m/s. a) How long does it take the ball to hit the ground? b) What is the speed of the ball just before hitting the ground? c) Two seconds after I throw it, what is the speed of the ball, and how far down is it?

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a bridge 20.0 m high with an initial speed of 16.0 m/s. The ball falls all the way down and strikes the water below. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it strike the water.
