Answer:
20.9 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity, u = 16 m/s
We need to find its velocity 0.5 s into flight when a ball straight up into the air. Let it is v. It will move under the action of gravity. Using first equation of motion to find it as follows :
v=u+at
Here, a = g
v = 16 + 9.8(0.5)
v = 20.9 m/s
So, the final velocity is 20.9 m/s.
