Isaac throws an apple straight up from 1.0 m above the ground, reaching a maximum height of 35 meters. neglecting air resistance, what is the ball's velocity when it hits the ground?

The ball's velocity when it hits the ground is about 26 m/s

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

v = final velocity ( m/s )

u = initial velocity ( m/s )

t = time taken ( s )

d = distance ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

This problem is about kinematics.

At the maximum height , the velocity of the ball is 0 m/s

Given:

maximum height = h = 35 m

velocity at the maximum height = 0 m/s

gravitational accelerationg = 9.8 m/s²

Unknown:

velocity at the ground = v = ?

Solution:

The ball's velocity when it hits the ground is about 26 m/s
