The concept used to solve this problem is kinematic equations of motion.
Initially, find the speed of the ball after throwing it by using the equation for the velocity as a function of time.
Finally, determine the height the ball reaches by using equation for the displacement as a function of time.
The expression for the velocity as a function of time is as follows:
Here, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time taken.
The expression for the displacement as a function of time is as follows:
Here, s is the vertical displacement.
(1)
The speed of ball is,
Substitute for a
Substitutefor v, for g, and 3.5 s for t.
(2)
The height the ball reaches when it is thrown upwards is,
Substitute for a andfor t
Here, T is the total time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height and to return the ground.
Substitute 17.2 m/s for u, 3.5 s for T, andfor g.
Ans: Part 1
The speed of the ball after throwing it is 17.2 m/s.
Part 2The height reached by the ball is 15.09 m.

Suppose that a 112.5 kg football player running at 8.5 m/s catches a 0.44 kg ball moving at a speed of 25 m/s with his feet off the ground, while both of them are moving horizontally. Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the system, in joules, after the player catches the ball. Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the system, in joules, in this case.
