Step 1
- The time it takes for the package to hit the ground (t) is 16.0 s. - The acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.81 m/s² downward. - Air resistance is negligible. Show more…

A ball is thrown straight upward in the air at a speed of $15.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. Ignore air resistance. a) What is the maximum height the ball will reach? b) What is the speed of the ball when it reaches $5.00 \mathrm{~m} ?$ c) How long will the ball take to reach $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$ above its initial position on the way up? d) How long will the ball take to reach $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$ above its initial position on its way down?
