A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. How long does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of 2.20 m, and he is 1.80 m tall?

Step 1
First, we need to find the time it takes for the shot to reach its highest point. We can use the following kinematic equation: v_f = v_i - g*t where v_f is the final velocity (0 m/s at the highest point), v_i is the initial velocity (11.0 m/s), g is the Show more…

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of $11.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. How long a time does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of $2.20 \mathrm{m}$ and he is $1.80 \mathrm{m}$ tall?
