Answer:
a) 6.95 m/s
b) 1.42 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 2.46-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.46}\\\Rightarrow u=6.95\ m/s[/tex]
a) The vertical speed when it leaves the ground. is 6.95 m/s
[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6.95}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s[/tex]
Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.71 seconds
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.46=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.46\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s[/tex]
Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.71 seconds
b) Time it stayed in the air is 0.71+0.71 = 1.42 seconds
