A stone is thrown with an initial upward velocity of 7.0 m/s and experiences negligible air resistance. If we take upward as the positive direction, what is the velocity of the stone after 0.50 s?

2.1 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 7 m/s

Time (t) = 0.50 s

Final velocity (v) =?

Since the is thrown upward, it means that the stone is going against gravity. Thus, the value of the acceleration due to gravity will be negative i.e – 9.8 m/s²

Thus, we can obtain the velocity of the stone after 0.50 s as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 7 m/s

Time (t) = 0.50 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = – 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 7 + (– 9.8 × 0.5)

v = 7 – 4.9

v = 2.1 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the stone after 0.5 s is 2.1 m/s.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
