Answer:
a) 1.22 s
b) 9.089 m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-12}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.22\ s[/tex]
Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=12\times 1.22+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 1.22^2\\\Rightarrow s=7.339\ m[/tex]
The maximum height the ball will reach above the ground is 1.75+7.339 = 9.089 m
