A baseball is released at rest from the top of the Washington Monument. It hits the ground after falling for 6 s. What was the height from which the ball was dropped

Total height (s) = 176.4 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Time taken (t) = 6 sec

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Find:

Total height (s)

Computation:

s = ut + [1/2]gt²

s = (0)(6) + [1/2][9.8][6²]

s = 176.4 m

Total height (s) = 176.4 m

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
