13. A baseball is popped straight up into the air and has a hang-time of 6.25 s.

after being
dropped. Determine the height to which the ball rises before it reaches its peak. (Hint: the time to
rise to the peak is one-half the total hang-time.)

-The total hang-time of the ball is given as 6.25 seconds. According to the hint provided, we can
divide this total hang-time into two parts: the time it takes to rise to the peak and the time it takes
to fall back down. Since the time to rise to the peak is one-half of the total hang-time, it would be
6.25 seconds divided by 2, which equals 3.125 seconds.

Now, we can use the formula for the height of an object in free fall:

h = (1/2) * g * t^2

where: h is the height g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2) t is the time

Using this formula, we can calculate the height to which the ball rises:

h = (1/2) * 9.8 * (3.125)^2 h ≈ 48.5 meters

Therefore, the ball rises to a height of approximately 48.5 meters before reaching its peak.

14.The observation deck of tall skyscraper 370 m above the street. Determine the time required
for a penny to free fall from all the deck to the street below.
To determine the time required for a penny to free fall from the observation deck of a tall
skyscraper, we can use the equations of motion.

First, let's calculate the time it takes for the penny to reach its maximum height during the free
fall. The initial velocity (u) is 0 since the penny is dropped from rest. The final velocity (v) at the
maximum height is also 0, as the penny momentarily comes to a stop before falling downward.
The acceleration (a) due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².

We can use the equation:

v = u + at

Since the final velocity (v) is 0, we can rearrange the equation to solve for time (t):

t = -u / a

Plugging in the values:

t = -0 / 9.8 t = 0 seconds

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 0 seconds because the penny is momentarily at
rest before falling downward.
Now, let's calculate the time it takes for the penny to fall from the maximum height to the street
level. The initial velocity (u) at the maximum height is also 0 since the penny comes to a stop.
The final height (s) is the distance from the observation deck to the street, which is 370 meters.
The acceleration (a) due to gravity is still approximately 9.8 m/s².

We can use the equation:

s = ut + (1/2)at²

Since the initial velocity (u) is 0, the equation simplifies to:

s = (1/2)at²

Rearranging the equation to solve for time (t):

t² = (2s) / a

t = √((2s) / a)

Plugging in the values:

t = √((2 * 370) / 9.8) t ≈ √(74.898) t ≈ 8.655 seconds

Therefore, it would take approximately 8.655 seconds for the penny to free fall from the
observation deck to the street below.

13. The time it takes for the ball to rise to its peak is half of the total hang time, which is 6.25 s /
2 = 3.125 s.

We can use the following equation to calculate the height to which the ball rises:

where:

 h is the height in meters

 u is the initial velocity in meters per second
 g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s²
 t is the time in seconds
We can assume that the initial velocity of the ball is zero, so the equation becomes:

Therefore, the height to which the ball rises before it reaches its peak is 47.85 meters.

It is important to note that this is an idealized calculation, and in reality, the ball would
experience some air resistance, which would slow down its ascent and slightly reduce the height
to which it rises.

It is important to note that this is an idealized calculation, and in reality, the penny would
experience some air resistance, which would slow down its fall and slightly increase the time it
takes to reach the ground.
