Answer:

27.44 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know, velocity = displacement/time

Displacement is the shortest route through which a body can travel.

Given that there's a body, with a velocity of 5.6 m/s, it is thrown above,in the time of 4.9 seconds. Let us assume that the body didn't return.

Depending on the formula, we get:.

  • V = S/t where v = velocity, S = Displacement, t = time

Putting the values:

  • 5.6 = S/4.9

On cross multiplication:

  • 5.6*4.9 = S
  • S = 27.44 m

Hence the displacement of the ball is 27.44 m.
