SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a physics problem involving projectile motion, specifically a baseball thrown upward with an initial speed of 24.66 m/s and passing a window 21 m above the street at a vertical speed of 14 m/s after approximately 1.09 seconds. The user seeks to determine the maximum altitude the baseball reaches and the total time until it returns to the street. The relevant equations of motion for vertical projectile motion are essential for solving these queries.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of projectile motion principles
  • Familiarity with kinematic equations
  • Ability to manipulate algebraic equations
  • Knowledge of initial velocity and acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the kinematic equations for vertical motion in physics
  • Learn how to calculate maximum height using the formula: h = v² / (2g)
  • Research how to determine total time of flight for projectile motion
  • Practice solving similar projectile motion problems for better understanding
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on kinematics and projectile motion, as well as educators seeking to provide assistance with homework problems in this area.

Homework Statement


A baseball is seen to pass upward by a window 21 m above the street with a vertical speed of 14 m/s. The ball was thrown from the street.

i already found out that initial speed is 24.65806156 and it passed the window after 1.086442406 s.
so, i need to figure out:

What altitude does it reach?
and
After how many more seconds does it reach the street again?

Homework Equations


i don't know.


The Attempt at a Solution


i tryed using the distance formula with my knowns but it i can't get the right answer.

i really need help, this homework is due in a few hours : /

Show what you tried. (How did you solve for the initial speed? A similar method can be used.)
