a ball is thrown vertically upward, it takes 5s to reach the maximum height. the total time taken by the ball for the entire journey is

Open in App

Solution

Here,
total time = time of ascent + time of descent
now,
we know that for a body moving under gravity
time of ascent = time of descent
given:
time of ascent = 5s
so,
time fo descent = 5s
thus,
total time = 5s + 5s = 10s
