A missile is launched vertically from a missile silo, it will explode after 32 s. It's launch speed was 145 m/s, and it doesn't accelerate after launch. Will the missile have hit its highest point before it explodes? Will it have landed before it explodes?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Landed before it explodes

Explanation:

vf = vi + at,

0 = 145 - (9.8)t,

t = 14.79 s (Time to reach highest point)

14.79 x 2 = 29.59 s (Time to land on the ground)

It will have landed before it explodes because both the time to reach the highest point and the time to land on the ground are less than 32 seconds.
