Question
A ball is thrown up with a speed of 4.9 ms-1.
Prove that the time of ascent is equal to the time of descent.

Solution
For highest point initial velocity is zero
Acceleration due to gravity is = 9.8 ms-2.
Final velocity at ground is v
V2 - 0 = 2 X9.8 X 1.125
V = 4.9 ms-1.
Time taken to reach ground from highest point
V = u + at
4.9 = 0 + 9.8 t
T = 4.9/9.8 = 0.5 sec.
So time of ascent is equal to time descent.
