Answer:

t = 2 s

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that when object comes back to its initial position then the displacement of the object will be zero

so here we can say by kinematics equation


\Delta y = v_y t + (1)/(2)at^2

here we know that


\Delta y = 0


v_y = 9.8 m/s


g = -9.8 m/s^2

now from above equation we know


0 = 9.8 t - \frac{1]{2}9.8 t^2

so from above equation we have

t = 2 s
