How long does it take to reach its highest
point?
Answer in units of s.

1) The maximum height reached is approximately 39.715 m

2) The time it takes the ball to reach the its highest point is approximately 2.85 s

Explanation:

1) The vertical velocity of the ball, u = 27.9 m/s

The acceleration due gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The kinematic equation that gives the height, h, reached by the ball is given as follows;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

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

h = The height reached by the ball = at maximum height

Therefore, by substitution of the known values, we have;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

0² = 27.9² - 2 × 9.8 ×

2 × 9.8 × = 27.9²

= 27.9²/(2×9.8) ≈ 39.715

The maximum height reached = ≈ 39.715 m

2) From the kinematic equation of motion, v = u - g·t, we have the time, t, it takes the ball to reach the maximum height given as follows

At maximum height, the final velocity, v = 0 m/s, therefore, we have;

0 = 27.9 - 9.8 × t

9.8 × t = 27.9

t = 27.9/9.8 ≈ 2.85

The time it takes the ball to reach the maximum height = t ≈ 2.85 seconds.

real, smaller and upside-down.   so the answer should be b.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
