During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. if the ball remains in the air for 6.22 s, how high does it rise? the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . answer in units of m.

47.4 m

Explanation:

When an object is thrown upward, it rises up, it reaches its maximum height, and then it goes down. The time at which it reaches its maximum height is half the total time of flight.

In this case, the time of flight is 6.22 s, so the time the ball takes to reach the maximum height is

Now we consider only the downward motion of the ball: it is a free fall motion, so we can find the vertical displacement by using the suvat equation

where

s is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 3.11 s is the time

is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Solving the  formula, we find

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
