(A) What is the Initial Speed at which the lava bomb got launched?

(B) What is the maximum height reached by the lava bomb, above the volcano?

(C) How long after initial launch does the lava bomb's acceleration go to zero?

(D) What is the final speed at which the lava bomb hits the volcano on its way down?

Explanation / Answer

15/2=7.5 s for max ht time===>voy=g*t=73.5 m/s===>max ht=voy^2/(2*g)=275.625 m

A) 73.5 m/s

B) 275.625 m

C) a=g at no time does g=0

D) 73.5 m/s
