How exactly is the problem worded? Is there any indication that the ball is falling?Jillypilly9 said:
The formula for finding initial velocity is v = d/t, where v is the initial velocity, d is the distance, and t is the time.
To find the initial velocity, plug in the given values of time and distance into the formula v = d/t. In this case, it would be v = 9.87m/2.58s = 3.82m/s.
No, the initial velocity is the velocity at the beginning of the motion, while the average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time.
Yes, this formula can be used to find the initial velocity in any type of motion, as long as the distance and time are known.
The units of measurement for initial velocity depend on the units used for distance and time. In this case, the units would be meters per second (m/s).
