Question

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 m/s (~ 134 mph). Assume that g = 10 m/s2.At what time t does the ball reach its apex (highest point)?

Answer 1

6 second

Step-by-step explanation:

initial velocity of ball, u = 60 m/s

g = 10 m/s^2

Let the ball takes time t to reach at the maximum height

We know that at maximum height, the velocity of ball is zero.

v = 0 m/s

Use first equation of motion

v = u + gt

0 = 60 - 10 x t

t = 6 second

Thus, the ball takes 6 second to reach to maximum height.
