How long does it take the lava bomb to reach its maximum height? Answer with three significant digits and the correct unit. A small volcano's steam pressure belches vertically upward a lava bomb from an initial height of 64.4 m and with an initial upward velocity of 31.4 m/s. Remember gravity's acceleration near earth is g = 9.8 m/s2 down.

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m

The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity  = 0 m/s at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to reach the maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t

∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t

t = 31.4/9.8  ≈ 3.204

The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds

  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.
