A baseball is thrown straight up on the Moon with an initial speed of 28 m/s. Find the time it takes for the baseball to reach the maximum height. On the moon g = 1.6 m/s2
V = Vo + g*t.
V = 0 @ max h.
Vo = 28 m/s.
g = -1.6 m/s^2.
t = ?
To find the time it takes for the baseball to reach the maximum height, we can use the following formula:
t = v / g
where:
t is the time it takes,
v is the initial velocity of the baseball,
and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon.
Given that the initial velocity of the baseball is 28 m/s and the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.6 m/s², we can substitute these values into the formula:
t = 28 m/s / 1.6 m/s²
Now, let's perform the calculation:
t = 17.5 seconds
Therefore, it takes the baseball approximately 17.5 seconds to reach the maximum height on the Moon.
