A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m/s.

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
