A baseball is thrown downward from a tower of height h with an initial speed v0. Determine
the speed at which it hits the ground and the time of travel.
Given: $h=50ft\quad \quad \quad g=32.2\frac { ft }{ { s }^{ 2 } } \quad \quad \quad { v }_{ 0 }=18\frac { ft }{ s }$

A baseball is thrown downward from a tower of height h with an initial speed v0. Determine
the speed at which it hits the ground and the time of travel.
Given:[latex]h=50ft\quad \quad \quad g=32.2\frac { ft }{ { s }^{ 2 } } \quad \quad \quad { v }_{ 0 }=18\frac { ft }{ s } [/latex]

Accepted Answer

[latex]v=\sqrt { { v }_{ 0 }^{ 2 }+2gh } \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad v=59.5\frac { ft }{ s } \ t=\frac { v-{ v }_{ 0 } }{ g } \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad t=1.29s[/latex]
