You throw a ball straight up with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. It passes a tree branch on the way up at a height of 12.7 m.

(A) How much additional time elapses before the ball passes the tree branch on the way back down (i.e. how much time passes between when the ball is moving upward at a height of 12.7 m to when the ball is moving downward at a height of 12.7 m)?

Correct Answer was 1.76 s.

b) What total distance does the ball travel during this elapsed time? (I havent figured out how to get this answer correct)

I throw a ball straight upward at an initial velocity of +40 m/s. Assuming g is -10 m/s2, (a) how long would it take for the ball to reach its maximum height before falling back down? (b) what will its final speed be right before reaching your hand again at the same height as where you threw it? (c) how does the acceleration of the ball change as it reaches the top of its path going 0 m/s?

You throw a ball vertically upward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s from a window located 20 m above the ground. Knowing that the acceleration of the ball is constant and equal to 9.81 m/s^2 downward (this makes for negative acceleration as upward motion is positive and downward motion is negative and gravity pulls downward), determine: (a) The acceleration at t = 2 s (b) The equation for velocity (Because you are looking for an equation for velocity, you...

A man throws a ball straight upward with speed 30 m/s from the top of a building that is 75 m high. Ignore air resistance and choose the vertical y-axis to be positive downward with origin at the point of throw (top of the building). Represent the initial velocity and the acceleration vectors in the reference y-axis above. Find the maximum height the ball reaches with respect to the ground. How long does it take the ball to reach the...
