Solution
Initial speed of ball is = 9.8 ms-1.
Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 ms-2.
Final speed at maximum height = 0 ms-1.
We know v = u + at
0 = 9.8 - 9.8 t
T = 1 sec.
We know v2 - u2 =2as
At highest point final velocity is zero so
0 - 9.8 X 9.8 = 2 X (-9.8) S
S = 4.9 m.
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 4.9
V = 9.8 ms-1.
Time taken to reach ground from highest point
V = u + at
9.8 = 0 + 9.8 t
T = 9.8/9.8 = 1 sec.
Total time = time of ascent + time of descent.
Total of flight = 1+ 1 = 2 seconds.
