Assumptions:

1) You throw it straight up. No angle, nothing.

2) Answers.com removed your punctuation, thus you meant initial speed of 39 m/s

3) No air resistance

4) Your "throw" begins at the ground (meaning you're not counting the height of the person)

Answer = 39 m/s

Reasoning: With nothing but the acceleration of gravity to slow it, it will slow to a stop, then accelerate and return along the same path. With no resistance, it will accelerate to the same velocity as its initial velocity by the time it reaches the point of origin.

Fun Fact: Feel free to try this. I recommend using a hackey-sack and laying on your back while you throw upward.

The final speed of the object just before it hits the ground can be calculated using the kinematic equation: v^2 = u^2 + 2as. Given that the initial speed (u) is 39 m/s, acceleration due to gravity (a) is -9.81 m/s^2, and the object travels a vertical distance (s) before hitting the ground, you can solve for v.

How do you find the initial velocity just with the accelaration final velocity and time?

You can use the equation: final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time. Rearrange the equation to solve for initial velocity: initial velocity = final velocity - acceleration * time. Simply substitute the given values for final velocity, acceleration, and time into the equation to find the initial velocity.


What are watts amps and ohms?

Watts measure power, or the rate at which energy is consumed or produced. Amps (amperes) measure electrical current, or the flow of electrons in a circuit. Ohms measure electrical resistance, or the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit.


What is a noun for assume?

The noun forms for the verb to assume are assumability, assumer, and the gerund assuming. Another noun form is assumption.


How do you find time with only distance and acceleration when Vi and VF are 0?

The amount of time it would take an object to travel a distance with constant acceleration depends on its initial velocity, according to the equation: d = vit + 0.5at2 Where d is displacement, vi is initial velocity, t is time, and a is acceleration. Note: if the object starts from rest, its initial velocity, logically, is zero.


The wiring in the wall of your house to and from an outlet has a total resistance of typically 0.12 ohms suppose a device plugged into a 120 V outlet draws 10 A of current What is the voltage drop?

The voltage drop across the wiring in the wall is calculated using Ohm's Law: V = I * R, where V is the voltage drop, I is the current, and R is the resistance. Plugging in the values, V = 10 A * 0.12 ohms = 1.2 V. Therefore, the voltage drop across the wiring in the wall is 1.2 V.

If a punter can kick a ball with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second how many seconds will it take the ball to reach 32 feet?

If you assume that the punter is in space, where there is no gravity nor air resistance, it will take 2/3 second.


How do you work out height from initial velocity final velocity mass and work done?

If you throw an object up, and assume that air resistance is negligible, knowing the initial velocity is enough. One way to do this is to use conservation of energy. Calculate the energy from the initial velocity, then insert it in the formula for gravitational potential energy.Same for final velocity - the final speed is the same as the initial speed. If you know the work done, you already have the first half of the above steps solved.

If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?

I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.

A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100 meters per second. What will be the baseball's speed when it hits the ground?

I assume you hit it up from the ground level as well. From Conservation of Energy, it immediately follows that: * If there is no air resistance, when it hits the ground it will, once again, have a speed of 100 meters per second. * Since under usual circumstances there WILL BE air resistance, its speed will be less than 100 meters per second.


How much does air expand at 35000 degrees?

If you assume pressure stays the same (so volume is not limited in any way), you can use the ideal gas law, pV = nRT. I assume an initial condition of ~20C temperature (293K). Also, I assume the temperature you're giving is in degrees F. 35000F = 19427C. If the above assumptions are correct, air will expand 19427 / 293 = 66.3 times its' initial volume.
