A ball is thrown vertically upwards at 16ms^-1. What is the velocity after 2 seconds
(acceleration is 9.8 m/s/s)

Can someone please show working.

Thanks in advance

I think u use

v = u + at

u(initial velocity) = 16 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s/s (works against gravity and retards)
t = 2 s

v = 16 + -9.8(2)

v= -3.6 m/s

I haven't done this topic yet but using Year 10 Science...

v = u + at
v = 16 - 9.8*2
v = -3.6 ms-1
v = 3.6 ms-1, downwards

v= 35.6 m/s

If it's not right

Im sorry ><
Umm... so if you throw something up it accelerates and gravity pushes it up?

lol... gravity is working against the object, so the acceleration (deceleration) is -9.8ms-1

That confuses me. Is that the average acceleration?
I don't think the question will be exactly written as that.

Sorry, just saying. :(

constant acceleration of gravity
He probably wrote the first part , then instead of writing , The ball accelerates at (constant) 9.8 m/s/s towards blah blah blah . He just put it in brackets

Can't wait to do this topic... seems so math-like :)
Lol i'v done this topic first
it's A lot of maths
trust me , many formulas
but you'll like it
I'm used to it now


your pretty smart , knowing that your using year 10 knowledge :)
