To celebrate a victory, a pitcher throws her glove straight upward with an initial speed of 5.3 m/s. How long does it take for the glove to reach its maximum height

Hello!!

For the maximum height the final velocity is zero, because can't up more.

Then, use the formula:

V = Vi + gt

Replacing, we have:

0 m/s = 5,3 m/s + (-9,8 m/s² * t)

0 m/s - 5,3 m/s = -9,8 m/s² * t

(-5,3 m/s) / -9,8 m/s² = t

t = 0,54 s

The time it will take to reach the maximum height is 0,54 seconds.
