a tennis ball is tossed up and caught 2.5 seconds later. what was the height that the tennis ball reached? what was the initial velocity of the tennis ball?

A tennis ball is thrown straight up and caught again 2.0 seconds later (at the same height from which it was thrown). a. What is the ball's acceleration while it's in flight? b. What maximum height does it reach?

A tennis ball is hit straight up at 25 m/s from the edge of a sheer cliff. Some time later, the ball passes the original height from which it was hit. (Ignore the effects of air resistance.) (a) How fast is the ball moving at that time? (b) If the cliff is 10 m high, how long will it take the ball to reach the ground level? (c) What total distance did the ball travel?
You hit a tennis ball with an initial vertical velocity of 25 m/s. The ball leaves the tennis racket 2 meters above the ground, h_o. How much time does your opponent have before the ball hits the ground on the other side of the net, h(t)? Use h(t) = -5t^2 + v_0t + h_0 where h(t) is the height of a tennis ball being hit h_0 is the initial height v_0 is the velocity in meters/second after time (t) in seconds
