A pitcher threw a baseball straight up at 35.8 meters per second. what was the ball's velocity at 2.50 seconds?

v=11.3 m/s

Explanation:

ok the velocity of an object in free fall is given by the equation :

v=v0-gt, where v0 is the original velocity, g is the gravitational constant (9.8 m/s^2) and t is the time.

so, we substitute values into this equation. v=35.8-9.8*2.5; v=11.3 m/s

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
