For a flourish at the end of her act, a juggler tosses a single ball high in the air. she catches the ball 3.3 s later at the same height from which it was thrown.
part a what was the initial upward speed of the ball?
express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

Initial speed of the ball, u = 16 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that, a juggler tosses a single ball high in the air. She catches the ball 3.3 s later at the same height from which it was thrown. Let u is the initial upward speed of the ball.

At the highest point, the final speed of the ball, v = 0

Using equation of motion as :

a = -g

Let are time of ascent and descent respectively.

So, total time,

u = 16.17 m/s

or

u = 16 m/s

So, the initial upward speed of the ball is 16 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

i believe the answer is a
