3. Example Problem (intermediate) A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum height of 16 m above its launch point. At which height above its launch point has the speed of the ball decreased to one-half of its initial value? Solution: Given: y max = 16 m Infer: v max = 0, y 0 = 0 Find: y 1 when v 1 = v 0 /2 Also, need v 0 y y 0, v 0 y max, v max y 1, v 1

4. To maximum height: v 2 max = v 2 0 –2g(y max -y 0 ) Solve for v 0 v 2 0 = v 2 max +2g(y max -y 0 ) = 2gy max To intermediate point: v 2 1 = v 2 0 –2g(y 1 -y 0 ) Solve for y 1 y 1 = (v 2 0 – v 2 1 )/(2g) = [v 2 0 – (v 0 /2) 2 ]/(2g) = v 0 2 (1-1/4)/(2g) = v 0 2 (3/4)/(2g) = 3v 0 2 /(8g) = 3(2gy max )/(8g) = 3y max /4 = 3(16m)/4 = 12 m
