harold threw a baseball 3 meters harold is 2 meters tall. how fast did he throw the ball and how long was it in the air

u = 7.74 m/s and t = 1.82 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Harold threw a baseball 3 meters.

Harold is 2 meters tall.

The vertical distance = 3m

The final velocity at the maximum height is  0.

Let u is the initial velocity of the baseball. Using the first equation of motion to find it as follows :

Here, a = -g

He has thrown it with the speed of 7.74 m/s

Let t is the time taken by the ball to fall on the ground.

Harold is 2 meters tall. Using second equation of motion to find it.

u = -7.74 (as downward direction is taken as positive)

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
