-- We can't say anything about the velocity, because we don't know anything about the

horizontal motion of the ball. With the information included in the question, we can only

be sure of how the vertical component of velocity behaves.

-- At the maximum altitude of the ball, there's the instant where its vertical speed

changes from upward to downward. At that instant, its vertical speed is zero.

If you throw a ball into the air where will it have the greatest gravitational potential energy?

The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.


A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its gravitational potential energy maximum?

Kinetic energy is at its maximum when the velocity of the ball is greatest. This will occur immediately upon release. Air resistance will slow the ball from this point and unless the ball falls back past its original starting height, it will never achieve a velocity greater than that with which it starts.


How high can a ball go?

The maximum height of a thrown ball is dependent on the upward portion of the initial velocity. Air friction will slow it somewhat but gravity will cause it to lose most of its upward velocity. The velocity will decrease by 9.8 m/sec for each second of its upward motion, until it reaches zero. At that point, the ball is pulled back toward Earth.


The maximum velocity of a ball as it drops is 12 meters per second. The maximum velocity of the ball after the first bounce is -6 meters per second. What is the difference between the two velocities?

18


Does the height effect the bounce of the ball?

Yes, assuming the ball has elasticity and you haven't exceeded the height where the ball, when dropped, reaches terminal velocity.


A boy kicks a ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 12m/s. Calculate the time taken by the ball to reach the maximum hight and the maximum, height reached by the ball?

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is 1 second. The maximum height reached by the ball is 36 meters.


What would be the velocity of ball which is thrown by the man who running at the speed equal to the velocity of light?

As velocity never exceeds the velocity of light.... so i hope a man running with the velocity of light will not be able to throw a ball with any velocity.......... we may get the maximum n minimum velocity with which that can be thrown mathematically that we may get it to be zero................


Which is A 2 kg ball is thrown upward with a velocity of 10 m s What is the work done by gravity when the ball reaches its maximum height?

force = mass * acceleration = 2 * -9.82 = -19.64 newtons work done = force * distance = -19.64 * 5.092 metres = -100 joules


A pitcher throws a baseball to home plate a distance of 60.5 ft The ball reaches home plate in 0.63 s What is the velocity of the ball?

96.03 ft/s = 29.27 m/s = 65.5 mph = 105 kph = velocity of the ball


When a ball being juggled reaches its highest point it has?

Placing a question mark at the end of a list of expressions or numbers does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered.One possible answer is that it has reached the maximum altitude of its trajectory.


What will drop faster a metal ball or a racket ball?

all objects accelerate to earth at 9.8 m/s/s until it reaches its terminal velocity.


A girl throws a tennis ball upward with an initial velocity of 4 meters per second . What is the maximum displacement of the ball?
