Asmall rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.8 m/s directly upward. choose upward as the positive direction in your analysis. what is the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches? how long does it take to reach the maximum height? how long does it take to reach the ground after it reaches its highest point? what is its velocity just before it hits the ground? (indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

7.09683 m

1.20285 s

2.4057 s

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (negative up, positive down)

From equation of motion we have

The maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches is 7.09683 m

Time taken to go up is 1.20285 s it will take the same time to come down so total time taken to reach the ground after it is shot is 1.20285+1.20285 = 2.4057 s

The velocity just before it hits the ground is 11.8 m/s

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
