An object is thrown straight up from ground level with a speed of 50 m/s.If g = 10 m/s² its distance above ground level 1.0 second later is: A)40 m B)45 m C)50 m D)55 m E)60 m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance an object travels when thrown upwards can be calculated using the formula: $d = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$, where $d$ is the distance, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $t$ is the time. Substituting the given values: $d = 50(1) - \frac{1}{2}(10)(1)^2 = 50 - 5 = 45$ meters.
