Atennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 2.00 s at the same height as the point of release. (a) what is the acceleration of the ball while it is in flight? (b) what is the velocity of the ball when it reaches its maximum height? find (c) the initial velocity of the ball and (d) the maximum height it reaches

Part a)

a = -9.81 m/s/s

Part b)

v = 0

Part c)

v = 9.81 m/s

Part d)

Explanation:

Part a)

During the motion of ball it will have only gravitational force on the ball

so here the acceleration of the ball is only due to gravity

so it is given as

Part b)

As we know that ball is moving against the gravity

so here the velocity of ball will keep on decreasing as the ball moves upwards

so at the highest point of the motion of the ball the speed of ball reduce to zero

Part c)

We know that the total time taken by the ball to come back to the initial position is T = 2 s

so in this time displacement of the ball will be zero

Part d)

at the maximum height position we know that the final speed will be zero

so we will have

here we have

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
