Aprojectile is launched vertically from the ground into the air with initial velocity v0. it reaches the ground in 10 minutes. assume that the height of the projectile above the ground after t minutes is given by h(t) = −5t 2 + v0t. find the initial velocity v0 of the projectile.

The initial velocity of the projectile is 50 meters per minute

Explanation:

The equation that describes the height (h on meters) of the projectile as a function of time (t in minutes) is:

(1)

We already know at 10 minutes the projectile reaches the ground, so if we assume our coordinate system on the ground that implies h(10 min)=0m, using this on (1):

solving for :

Note: It’s important to have a careful use of units in this kind of problem to avoid errors in the units of our answers, if we are calculating velocity we should get velocity units.

it will be pushed away from the source of the electric field. a negative charge in a cloud induces a positive charge in the ground below the cloud.

explanation:

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.
