Hello everyone. I'm sorry for asking such basic questions without offering much in a solution attempt, but the problem is - I have no idea how to answer them! I'm obviously a non-scientist and my math skills aren't so great either. But I would like if someone could simply show me HOW to answer these questions, so I could find the answers myself:
"A ball is thrown straight upward at a velocity of 50 m/s:
(1) How long will it take for the ball to stop rising?
(2) How far up has the ball traveled in this time?
(3) What is the ball's acceleration during this time?"
d = 1/2gt2
I know how to answer #2 if the ball is in freefall, but I don't know what to do if the ball starts at an upward velocity. Ditto for #1 and #3...
