1. On planet Jupiter, the acceleration due to gravity is about 26 m/s2. How high would a boy
be able to throw a ball on Jupiter if he can
throw it vertically 10m high on Earth?​

The boy can throw the ball to a height of 3.85 m on Jupiter

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the initial velocity at which the ball is thrown on EARTH. This can be obtained as follow:

On Earth:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Maximum height (h) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)

Initial velocity (u) =?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = u² – 2 × 10 × 10

0 = u² – 200

Collect like terms

0 + 200 = u²

200 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √200 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height of the ball at JUPITER. This can be obtained as followb

On Jupiter:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 26 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = √200 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)

Maximum height (h) =..?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = (√200)² – 2 × 26 × h

0 = 200 – 52h

Collect like terms

0 – 200 = –52h

–200 = –52h

Divide both side by –52

h = –200 / –52

h = 3.85 m

Thus, the boy can throw the ball to a height of 3.85 m on Jupiter.

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."

the maxium height is 34m/s
