3. A ball is hit upward with a speed of 7.5 m/s. How long does the ball take to reach maximum height?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 0.75 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of a ball, u = 7.5 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height. Let t is the time taken.

At maximum height, its final speed, v = 0 and it will move under the action of gravity.

Using the equation of motion to find t.

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

Use a = -g

[tex]v=u-gt\\\\t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{7.5}{10}\\\\t=0.75\ s[/tex]

Hence, the ball will take 0.75 seconds to reach the maximum height.
