What Height Does a Ball Reach When Its Speed Halves?

AI Thread Summary
A ball thrown straight upward reaches a maximum height of 18 meters. The discussion focuses on determining the height at which the ball's speed is half of its initial value. Key variables include the initial speed, maximum height, and gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s²). The problem requires applying kinematic equations to find the specific height corresponding to the reduced speed. Understanding the relationship between speed, height, and gravitational force is essential for solving this physics problem.

Homework Statement



A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum height of 18 m above its launch point. At what height above its launch point has the speed of the ball decreased to one-half of its initial value?

Homework Equations


i don't know.



The Attempt at a Solution


vi=0, d=18m, g=9.81, this is all i know.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
