Question
You toss a 0.150-kg baseball straight upward so that it leaves your hand moving at 20.0 m/s. The ball reaches a maximum height y2. What is the speed of the ball when it is at a height of y2/2? Ignore air resistance.

Answer:
14.14 m/s
Explanation:
mass of ball, m 0.150 kg
initial velocity, u = 20 m/s
g = 10 m/s²
The final velocity at the height is zero. Total height is y2.
Use third equation of motion,
v² = u² – 2 gh
0 = 20 x 20 – 2 x 10 x y2
y2 = 20 m
Let v is the velocity at height y2/2 .
v² = u² – 2 gh
v² = 20 x 20 – 2 x 10 x 10
v² = 400 – 200
v = 14.14 m/s
Thus, the velocity at half of the height is 14.14 m/s.
