Answer:
78.4 m
Explanation:
Using newton's equation of motion,
S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 1
Where S = Height, t = time, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Note: Taking upward to be negative, and down ward positive
Given: u = 49 m/s, t = 2.0 s, g = -9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 1
S = 49(2) - 1/2(9.8)(2)²
S = 98 - 19.6
S = 78.4 m
Hence the height of the ball two seconds later = 78.4 m
