A ball is thrown straight up in the air with an initial velocity of 50 feet per second and an initial height of 5 feet. How high will the ball be after 3 seconds?

Step 1
Write down the information you already know:
v1= 50 feet per second [up]
a= 9.81 m/s2 [down]= -9.81 m/s2 [up] = -32.185 feet/s2 [down] (1 metre= 3.28083989501312 feet)
t= 3s
d= ?
Step 2
Solve:
d= v1t+(1/2)at2
d= 50(3)+(1/2)(-32.185)(3)2
d= 150-144.8325
d= 5.1675 feet
*Remember you need to add the initial height
d=5+5.1675
d= 10.1675 feet= 10 feet

How to find the height of the projectile launch if the angle velocity and the distance are given?
Get the value of initial velocity. Get the angle of projection. Break initial velocity into components along x and y axis. Apply the equation of motion .
Will a ball drop rest reach the ground quicker than the one lunched from the same height but with and initial horizontal velocity?
No. What counts in this case is the vertical component of the velocity, and the initial vertical velocity is zero, one way or another.
If a cricket jumps off the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 4 ft per second what is an equation the height in ft of the crisket as a function of time in seconds since it jumped?
4ft*Ns=H
How many feet does a balloon move each second after how many seconds will a balloon be at height of 40 feet?
The answer depends on what gas the balloon contains, its initial velocity and the forces - gravity, buoyancy, cross-wind - acting on it.
If the launch angle is 15 degrees and the initial velocity is 50.0 meters per second what is the range?
If the initial velocity is 50 meters per second and the launch angle is 15 degrees what is the maximum height? Explain.
What is the equation to calculate the maximum height of an object given an initial velocity and initial launch height?
height=acceletation(t^2) + velocity(t) + initial height take (T final - T initial) /2 and place it in for time and there you go
An object projected up with initial velocity v attains a height h Another object projected up with initial velocity 2v will attain what height?
4h
What is the initial arclength of a pendulum when you know the length and mass and max velocity and initial height of the pendulum?
If you know the initial height and the length of the pendulum, then you have no use for the mass or the velocity. You already have the radius of a circle, and an arc for which you know the height of both ends. You can easily calculate the arc-length from these. And by the way . . . it'll be the same regardless of the mass or the max velocity. They don't matter.
What is A football kicked off at an angle 20 from the ground reaches a maximum height of 4.7 m What is the initial velocity of the kick?
initial velocity of the kick = 28.06 m/s
How to find the height of the projectile launch if the angle velocity and the distance are given?
Get the value of initial velocity. Get the angle of projection. Break initial velocity into components along x and y axis. Apply the equation of motion .
If at the Earth's surface a projectile is launched straight up at a speed of 9 km per sec to what height will it rise Ignore air resistance and the rotation of the Earth?
9 km/s = 9000m/s Gravity decreases the velocity of the object by 9.8 m/s each second. The velocity at the top is 0 m/s Equation 1: Velocity final = velocity initial - (9.8 m/s × time) Final velocity =0 m/s Initial velocity = 9000m/s 0 = 9000 - 9.8 t 9.8 t = 9000 t = 9000÷ 9.8 t = 918 seconds Average velocity = (9000 + 0 ) ÷ 2 =4500 m/s Height = average velocity × time Height = 4500 m/s ×918 seconds=4,131,000 meters = 4,131 Km. If you do not want to round, this equation will find the answer more accurately. (velocity final) 2 - (velocity initial) 2 = 2 × acceleration × distance m/s2 0 - 90002 = 2 × 9.8 × d d = 4,132,653.061 meters = 4,132.653061Km I do not know of any measuring tool that measures that precisely!
. ok v velocity a acceleration but what about you?
if by 'you', you mean 'u' then u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity. you need to know the initial velocity in trajectory question (motion of an object through the air) to find height, acceleration, time etc.
If a cricket jumps off the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 4 ft per second what is an equation the height in ft of the crisket as a function of time in seconds since it jumped?
4ft*Ns=H
Will a ball drop rest reach the ground quicker than the one lunched from the same height but with and initial horizontal velocity?
No. What counts in this case is the vertical component of the velocity, and the initial vertical velocity is zero, one way or another.
A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100MS How long will it take to hit the ground?
Take acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s2 .The ball stops rising and starts falling in (100/9.8) seconds.It returns to the height of the bat in 2 x (100/9.8) = 20.408 seconds. (rounded)
What is the rock's approximate velocity just prior to hitting the ground?
To answer this question one would need to know the rock's initial height and velocity.
How many feet does a balloon move each second after how many seconds will a balloon be at height of 40 feet?
The answer depends on what gas the balloon contains, its initial velocity and the forces - gravity, buoyancy, cross-wind - acting on it.
