in a kinematic equation when you throw a ball up and it reaches its highest point its velocity becomes zero how long is it zero
jlorino said:in my thinking that there are infinite numbers so you could measure time presicely infinite so something being instantaneous would not be possible
"Throw Ball: Max Height & Velocity = 0" is a mathematical concept that describes the motion of a thrown ball at its maximum height and when its velocity is equal to 0. It is often used in physics and sports to calculate the trajectory and speed of a thrown object.
The maximum height of a thrown ball is calculated using the formula h = (v^2 * sin^2(theta)) / 2g, where v is the initial velocity of the ball, theta is the angle of projection, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. This formula assumes that air resistance is negligible.
When the velocity of a thrown ball is equal to 0, it means that the ball has reached its maximum height and is momentarily at rest before falling back down. This occurs at the peak of the ball's trajectory and is also known as the ball's apex.
Yes, a thrown ball can reach its maximum height and have a velocity of 0 at the same time. This happens at the peak of the ball's trajectory when it is momentarily at rest before falling back down.
"Throw Ball: Max Height & Velocity = 0" is used in various real-life applications, such as in sports like baseball and football to analyze the trajectory and speed of a thrown ball. It is also used in physics to study the motion of objects in free fall and in engineering to calculate the launch trajectory of projectiles.
