Vertical Motion Displacement Calculation
To find the displacement of the ball after 4 seconds, we use the kinematic equation for displacement under constant acceleration:
\(s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2\)
Where:
- \(s\) is the displacement
- \(u\) is the initial velocity
- \(t\) is the time
- \(a\) is the acceleration
Applying Values and Calculation
Given:
- Initial velocity, \(u = 30\ m/s\) (positive as it's upward)
- Time, \(t = 4\ s\)
- Acceleration due to gravity, \(g = 10\ m/s^2\). Since gravity acts downwards, opposing the initial upward motion, the acceleration \(a = -g = -10\ m/s^2\).
Substitute these values into the equation:
\(s = (30\ m/s)(4\ s) + \frac{1}{2}(-10\ m/s^2)(4\ s)^2\)
First, calculate the terms:
- \(ut = (30)(4) = 120\ m\)
- \(\frac{1}{2}at^2 = \frac{1}{2}(-10)(16) = -5 \times 16 = -80\ m\)
Now, find the displacement:
\(s = 120\ m - 80\ m\)
\(s = 40\ m\)
The magnitude of the displacement is 40 m.
