Aball is shot from the ground into the air. at a height of 8.8 m, the velocity is observed to be

v = (7.7)i + (5.7)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j upward). to what maximum height will the ball rise?

what will be the total horizontal distance traveled by the ball?
what is the velocity of the ball (magnitude and direction) the instant before it hits the ground? that is what is its i-component?
what is its j-component?

h = 10.4 m

R = 22.48 m

v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Explanation:

The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:

Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :

x = vx*t  :

Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward   (vertical ).

y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)

vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Known data

y= 8.8 m

v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j  ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the  initial  vertical velocity ( v₀y)

We apply Equation (3) with the known data

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)

(5.7)²+ 172.48 =  (v₀y)²

v₀y = 14.3 m/s

Calculation of the maximum height  the ball rise (h)

In the maximum height vfy=0

We apply the Equation (3) :

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h

h = (14.3)² / 19.6

h = 10.4 m

Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height

We apply the Equation (4) :

vfy = v₀y -gt

0 = v₀y -gt

gt = v₀y

t = v₀y/g

t = 14.3/9.8

t= 1.46 s

Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s

Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball  (R)

We replace data in the equation (1)

x =vx*t    vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s  (Flight time)

R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m

Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground

vx = 7.7 m/s

vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s

v= 16,2 m/s

α = -61.7°

α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

i- j components of the v

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
