A ball is launched from the ground with a horizontal speed of 30 m/s and a vertical speed of 30 m/s. How long will it take to get to the top of its trajectory? A. 3 seconds B. 4 seconds C. 2 seconds D. 6 seconds

A (3 seconds)

Explanation:

Well here we have a type of motion called projectile motion and it is pretty similar to an upside down parabola. The top of the trajectory is the vertex of the parabola and is also when v=0.

Lets identify our givens.

Givens:

Horizontal speed= 30m/s

Vertical Speed= 30 m/s

Since the ball is in freefall after being launched ay=-g(take up to be positive) and ax=0

The ball is launched from the ground so y0=0

Final vertical velocity= 0

This problem is now relatively easy because we only need to find the vertical distance so we can ignore horizontal speed and use

vy=vy0+ayt

Plug in our givens

0=30-10t

solve for t

t=3 seconds

b

explanation:

the answer is neither ball has a charge.

because if they were both positively charged, they will repel each other.

if they were positively and negatively charged, they will seek.
