∙ 10y agoThe ball reaches a maximum height of ~81.6 meters.
How to do it:
Find the change in time using Vf = Vi -g(t)
We know: Vf = 0 (terminal velocity) and Vi = 40 (given in question)
So, Vf = Vi - g(t) => 0 = 40 - g(t) --Rework the equation to solve for t...
t = 40/g => since g = 9.8... t = 40/9.8 ~ 4.08
So the change in time is about 4.08 seconds
Now plug your new values into the kinematics equation
Yf = Yi + Vi(t) + 1/2(a)(t^2)
Plug in our values and solve => Yf = 0 + (40 * 4.08) - (9.8 * 4.08^2)/2
Therefore, Yf = 81.6 meters. This is your maximum height. Remember to find the time taken for the ball to fall from this height back to the ground if you need to calculate the total time of the fall.

∙ 10y agoIts initial speed cannot be 20 m, as stated in the question. Secondly, if the initial speed is correctly given, then there is no need to calculate it!
The initial velocity is zero. In most basic physics problems like this one the initial velocity will be zero as a rule of thumb: the initial velocity is always zero, unless otherwise stated, or this is what you are solving for Cases where the initial velocity is not zero examples a cannon ball is shot out of a cannon at 50 mph a ball is thrown from at a speed of 15 mph etc
That depends on whether you mean a golf ball, or something large and light like a volleyball,which is more venerable to air resistance, and would have to have a higher initial speed to reach 60m.
... and what is the question? The second ball should arrive at the floor a second after the first, both should have the same speed.
They should reach the ground together, since their initial vertical speed is the same, namely zero.

The height reached by a ball thrown upward depends on its initial speed: the higher the initial speed, the higher the maximum height reached. This is because a greater initial speed gives the ball more kinetic energy, allowing it to overcome gravity and reach a higher position before gravity brings it back down.
A ball thrown straight will curve downward due to the pull of gravity acting on it. As the ball moves forward, gravity exerts a downward force on it, causing it to follow a curved path towards the ground. This downward curve is influenced by factors such as air resistance and the initial velocity and angle at which the ball was thrown.
A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 20m/s. Two second later, a stone is thrown vertically (from the same initial height as the ball) with an initial speed of 24m/s. At what height above the release point will the ball and stone pass each other?
Slower than the initial speed it was thrown upward with due to air resistance causing the ball to lose speed as it travels through the air. The force of air resistance acts against the direction of motion and slows down the ball.
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
The speed of the ball is greatest when it is thrown upward and decreases as it reaches the peak of its trajectory. The speed continues to decrease as the ball falls back down due to the force of gravity pulling it towards the ground.
The initial velocity is zero. In most basic physics problems like this one the initial velocity will be zero as a rule of thumb: the initial velocity is always zero, unless otherwise stated, or this is what you are solving for Cases where the initial velocity is not zero examples a cannon ball is shot out of a cannon at 50 mph a ball is thrown from at a speed of 15 mph etc
The speed of a ball thrown up decreases because of gravity acting against the initial velocity. As the ball goes up, gravity pulls it back down, causing its speed to decrease until it reaches its peak height and momentarily stops before falling back down.
The ball thrown straight down from a bridge will experience an acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and acts in the downward direction. The acceleration will cause the ball to increase in speed as it falls towards the ground.
The average speed of a ball is influenced by factors such as the initial velocity at which it is thrown or hit, air resistance, gravity, and surface friction. Additionally, factors like the mass and size of the ball can also affect its speed.
The vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball thrown horizontally from a window is zero. The ball's initial velocity in the vertical direction is influenced only by the force of gravity, not the horizontal throw.
