The answer depends on whether the ball is thrown vertically upwards or downwards. That critical piece of information is not provided!

He will not make it.


If a brick falls from the top of a building and strikes the ground with a velocity of 39.2 meters per second down how long does the brick fall?

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/sec2.39.2 / 9.8 = 4 seconds


A gun fires a bullet off of a cliff that is 200 meters high with a muzzle velocity of 643 m per s so how far will the bullet travel before hitting the ground without air resistance?

Assuming that the gun is fired parallel to the ground, the bullet will begin to fall the instant that it leaves the muzzle. The total fall will be 200 meters. You will need to calculate how long it will take an object to fall 200 meters (hint- about 9.753 meters per second per second- or 9.753 meters the first second, 19.50 meters during the second second, etc) THEN multiply the velocity of the bullet (643 meters/ second) by the number of seconds it is in flight. That will be the distance when it hits the ground.

What is the velocity of a stone dropped of a building 318 meters?

Ignoring any effects due to air resistance, the speed of the stone is zero at the instant it's dropped, and increases steadily to 78.98 meters per second when it hits the ground. The velocity is directed downward throughout the experiment.


A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100 meters per second. What will be the baseball's speed when it hits the ground?

I assume you hit it up from the ground level as well. From Conservation of Energy, it immediately follows that: * If there is no air resistance, when it hits the ground it will, once again, have a speed of 100 meters per second. * Since under usual circumstances there WILL BE air resistance, its speed will be less than 100 meters per second.


Which will hit the ground first a ball thrown horizontally at 2 meters per second off a building 20 m high or a ball dropped by a hand at the same height?

They should reach the ground together, since their initial vertical speed is the same, namely zero.


A body is thrown vertically upward What is the magnitude of its acceleration?

A projectile fired directly upwards has no positive velocity. Its only velocity is attributed to the force of gravity, which is -9.8 meters per second squared.
