A player throws a ball upwards with an initial speed of 30 m s-1. How long does the ball take to return to the player's hands (Take g = 10 m s-2.)
(2)
Let t be the time taken by the ball to reach the highest point.
As v=u+atHere, u=30 m s-1v=0 (At highest point velocity is zero)a=-g=-10 m s-2 ∴ 0=30-10t or t=3 s↑+ve
∴ Time taken by the ball to return to player's hand=3 s+3 s=6 s
