v = Vi - g t
at top v = 0
0 = 13.3 - 9.81 t
t = 1.36 seconds to top
h = Hi + Vi t - 4.9 t^2
h = 0 + 13.3 * 1.36 - 4.9 (1.36)^2
h = 18.1 - 9.06
h = 9.03 meters
when is it at 4.52 meters?
4.52 = 13.3 t - 4.9 t^2
t^2 - 2.71 t + .922 = 0
t = [ 2.71 +/- sqrt ( 7.34-3.69) ]/2
t = [ 2.71 +/- 1.91 ]/2
= .4 seconds on the way up
and
2.31 seconds on the way dwon
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 13.3 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s2.
