A football is thrown vertically with an initial velocity of 33m/s. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it’s height increased 5m

Answer :

The final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity, u = 33 m/s

Height, h = 5m

Final velocity, v = ?

According to Newton's law:

v² - u² = 2gh

where,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

g = 9.8 m/s²

On substituting the values we get:

[tex]v^2 - (33)^2 = 2 X -9.8 X 5\\\\v^2 - 1089 = -98\\\\v^2 = 991\\\\v = 31.48 m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

The velocity of the football at the given height is 31.48m/s.

Given the data in the question;

  • Initial velocity; [tex]u = 33m/s[/tex]
  • Height or distance; [tex]s = 5m[/tex]

Final velocity; [tex]v =\ ?[/tex]

To determine the velocity of the ball at the given height, we use the third equation of motion:

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as[/tex]

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, s is distance or height and a is acceleration due to gravity( since the ball is under gravity, [tex]a = g = -9.8m/s^2[/tex] ) The football is going upward, Acceleration due to gravity acts in the opposite direction of the velocity, so it becomes NEGATIVE.

We substitute our given values into the equation

[tex]v^2 = (33m/s)^2 + [ 2\ *\ -9.8m/s^2\ *\ 5m ]\\\\v^2 = 1089m^2/s^2\ -\ 98m^2/s^2\\\\v^2 = 991m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{991m^2/s^2}\\\\v = 31.48m/s[/tex]

Therefore; the velocity of the football at the given height is 31.48m/s.
