Chapter 12 Problem 12-34

Question

A boy throws a ball straight up from the top of a 12-m high tower. If the ball falls past him 0.75 s later, determine the velocity at which it was thrown, the velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground, and the time of flight.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

If the ball passes the boy then its displacement will be

From Newton's laws of motion:

Time is given as ,

Acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity, so .
