It's a projectile. You should know the acceleration.patelneel1994 said:How do I find acceleration?
No. Where in the world did that come from?patelneel1994 said:Is it 3 ms-2?
The acceleration is constant.patelneel1994 said:I thought time and acceleration some how are related, which are not.
Of course you should use the acceleration due to gravity!Could we use gravity, which is 9.79 m/s2?
No. Why would you think that?patelneel1994 said:So if we solve using acceleration, then a = 0 right!
You have the right formula. For the acceleration, use the acceleration due to gravity.How can I solve using gravity? Is there any different formula?
What's the sign of the acceleration? Which way does gravity act?patelneel1994 said:Sorry a = 9.78 m/s^2
Use a proper sign convention in your equation. Let 'up' be positive and 'down' be negative.patelneel1994 said:Gravity pull an object down towards the ground. a = 9.78 ms-2!
The formula is v0 = gt, where v0 is the initial speed, g is the gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s2 on Earth), and t is the time in seconds.
The gravitational acceleration can be calculated using the formula g = 2h/t2, where h is the height of the object and t is the time it takes to reach that height.
The unit of measurement for initial speed is meters per second (m/s).
Yes, the initial speed can be negative if the ball is thrown downwards, towards the ground.
The factors that can affect the initial speed of a ball thrown vertically are the height from which it is thrown, the angle at which it is thrown, air resistance, and the mass of the ball.
