To celebrate a victory, a pitcher throws her glove straight upward with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How much time does it take for the glove to return to the pitcher

The glove takes 1.02s to return to the pitchers hand.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity the pitcher's glove, u = 5 m/s

Apply kinematic equation

s = ut - ¹/₂gt²

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t is the time takes the glove to return to the pitchers hand

s is the displacement of the glove, which will be equal to zero when the glove returns to the pitchers hand. (s = 0)

0 = ut - ¹/₂gt²

ut = ¹/₂gt²

u = ¹/₂gt

gt = 2u

t = (2u) / g

t = (2 x 5) / 9.8

t = 1.02 s

Therefore, the glove takes 1.02s to return to the pitchers hand.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
