Answer:

11:1

Step-by-step explanation:

At constant acceleration, an object's position is:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Given y₀ = 0, v₀ = u, and a = -g:

y = u t − ½g t²

After 6 seconds, the ball reaches the maximum height (v = 0).

v = at + v₀

0 = (-g)(6) + u

u = 6g

Substituting:

y = 6g t − ½g t²

The displacement between t=0 and t=1 is:

Δy = [ 6g (1) − ½g (1)² ] − [ 6g (0) − ½g (0)² ]

Δy = 6g − ½g

Δy = 5½g

The displacement between t=6 and t=7 is:

Δy = [ 6g (7) − ½g (7)² ] − [ 6g (6) − ½g (6)² ]

Δy = (42g − 24½g) − (36g − 18g)

Δy = 17½g − 18g

Δy = -½g

So the ratio of the distances traveled is:

(5½g) / (½g)

11 / 1

The ratio is 11:1.
