Answer:

Assuming that gravity has not caused the ball to start falling then after 2.5 seconds the ball will be 37.5 meters in the air

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball travels 15 meters every second so for 2 seconds we would multiply 15*2=30. We have 2.5 seconds so to calculate the time traveled in half a second we would divide 15/2=7.5

Then we add 30+7.5= 37.5 meters
