To find the initial velocity of a ball thrown vertically upwards that reaches a height of 20 m before returning to the ground, we can use the third equation of motion. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the known values - Maximum height (h) = 20 m - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s² (acting downwards) - Final velocity (v) at the maximum height = 0 m/s (the ball stops momentarily at the highest point) ### Step 2: Write the third equation of motion ...
