Question

A ball is thrown directly upward with an initial speed of 72 m/s. How much time passes before the ball reaches the highest point it will ever reach

Answer 1

7.35 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time passed prior to the ball reached to the highest point is as follows;

As we know that the acceleration because of gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s

As the ball is thrown directly in an upward direction with a speed of 72 m/s

So, the time passed prior to the ball reached to the highest point is

= 72 ÷ 9.8

= 7.35 seconds

Hence, the above represents the answer
