Consider the position of a ball thrown down with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. what will be its position after 2.16 s? let the initial position be 0. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.806 m/s 2 .

Respuesta :

500.427 is the answer

When the ball is thrown down with the initial speed of 15 m/s, then its final position is 55.27 m after 2.16 seconds.

How do you calculate the position of the ball?

The position of the ball thrown down is calculated by the formula given below.

[tex]s = s_0 + v_0t + \dfrac {1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Here, s0 is the initial position, v0 is the initial speed, t is the time and a is the acceleration.

Given that, [tex]s_0 = 0[/tex], [tex]v_0 = 15\;\rm m/s[/tex], [tex]t = 2.16\;\rm s[/tex] and [tex]a= g = 9.806\;\rm m/s^2[/tex].

Substituting the values in the above equation,

[tex]s = 0 + 15\times 2.16 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.806\times 2.16^2[/tex]

[tex]s = 55.27 \;\rm m[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the final position of the ball is 55.27 m.
