Answer:
2.1 m/s
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial velocity (u) = 7 m/s
Time (t) = 0.50 s
Final velocity (v) =?
Since the is thrown upward, it means that the stone is going against gravity. Thus, the value of the acceleration due to gravity will be negative i.e – 9.8 m/s²
Thus, we can obtain the velocity of the stone after 0.50 s as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 7 m/s
Time (t) = 0.50 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = – 9.8 m/s²
Final velocity (v) =?
v = u + gt
v = 7 + (– 9.8 × 0.5)
v = 7 – 4.9
v = 2.1 m/s
Therefore the velocity of the stone after 0.5 s is 2.1 m/s.
