how do u find the height of an object thrown straight up if u are only given that it is thrown with a velocity of 30m/s
To find the height of an object thrown straight up, you can use the formula h = v2 / 2g, where h is the height, v is the initial velocity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. You will need to measure the initial velocity and use a timer to determine the time it takes for the object to reach its highest point.
No, a ruler will not be accurate for measuring the height of an object thrown straight up. This is because the object reaches its highest point in a very short period of time and the ruler may not be able to capture the exact height. It is recommended to use a timer and the appropriate formula to calculate the height.
Air resistance can affect the measurement of an object's height when thrown straight up. The object may not reach its maximum height due to the force of air resistance pushing against it. This can result in an inaccurate measurement of the height. In order to minimize the effect of air resistance, it is recommended to perform the experiment in a vacuum or to use a small and dense object.
Yes, the height of an object thrown straight up can be negative. This occurs when the object is thrown from a higher elevation and does not reach the ground before it starts to fall back down. In this case, the initial height is taken as the reference point and any height above it is considered positive, while any height below it is considered negative.
Yes, the height of an object thrown straight up is affected by the mass of the object. According to the formula h = v2 / 2g, the height is directly proportional to the initial velocity and inversely proportional to the acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass of an object affects both the initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity, it will also affect the height reached by the object.
