Now if we measure the time to reach from heighest point point to the ground after reaching the heighest point, the initial vertical speed of the ball vi=0.0 ms1
The ball is moving under gravitational force, so the acceleration of the ball a=9.8 ms2
From part (a), the maximum height up to which the ball can reach S=31.9 m
Now the time taken by the ball to reach the ground can be calculated from the eqaution
S=vit+12at2
=0×t+12at2
=12at2
Therefore from the above equation, we get
t=2Sa
=2×31.9 m9.8 ms2
=2.55 s
Which is same as calculated in part(b) for to reach the ball to its maximum hight from ground.
Result: c) t=2.55 s
