Question
A ball is thrown upward at an angle with a speed and direction such that it reaches a maximum height of 19.5 m above the point it was released, with no appreciable air resistance. At its maximum height it has a speed of 18.5 m/s. With what speed was the ball released?a. 26.9 m/sb. 32.3 m/sc. 37.7 m/sd. 16.2 m/se. 21.5 m/s

Answer:
a. 26.9 m/s
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Height reached by ball, s = 19.5 m
Speed at maximum height (final velocity), v = 18.5 m/s
To find the initial speed of the ball, we use one of Newton’s equations of motion:
where g = acceleration due to gravity
The negative sign is present because the ball is thrown upward, hence, it moves against the gravitational force.
Therefore:
The ball was released at a speed of 26.9 m/s.
Answer:
26.91 m/s
Explanation:
at maximum height it has a speed of 18.5 m/s which must be its horizontal component of the speed with which it was projected
Vₓ = 18.5 m/s
Vy = √ 2gh = √ (2 × 9.8 × 19.5 ) = 19.55 m/s
V ( velocity with which it was projected ) =√ ( 18.5² + 19.55²) = 26.91 m/s
