You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The initial speed of the putty as it leaves your hand is 9.50 m/sm/s. Part A What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]4.65\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s[/tex]

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is [tex]4.65\ m/s[/tex]
