Amis-hit golf ball flies straight upward. it reaches a height of 31.0 meters before falling back down. how fast was it going when it was hit? (assume you can ignore drag)

v₀ = initial speed of the golf ball when it was hit = ?

v = final seed of the golf ball at the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained above the initial point = 31 m

m = mass of the golf ball

Using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy just after being hit = final kinetic energy at maximum height + potential energy at the maximum height

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + mgh

mass "m" cancel out so we get

(0.5)  v²₀ = (0.5)  v² + gh

inserting the values

(0.5)  v²₀ = (0.5)  (0)² + (9.8 x 31)

 v²₀ = 303.8/(0.5)

 v²₀ = 607.6

v₀ = sqrt(607.6 )

v₀ = 24.65 m/s

science is a systematic and logical approach to discovering how things in the universe work. true to this definition, science aims for measurable results through testing and analysis. science is based on fact, not opinion or preferences. the process of science is designed to challenge ideas through research.

explanation:

hotter stars = bluer stars
