*56. D A golf ball is dropped from rest from a height of 9.50 m. It hits the pavement, then bounces back up, rising just 5.70 m before falling back down again. A boy then catches the ball on the way down when it is 1.20 m above the pavement. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the total amount of time that the ball is in the air, from drop to catch.

Neglecting air resistance, (a) how long does it take the skier to reach the ground? (b) How far horizontally docs the skier travel in the air before landing? (Sec Section 3.4.)
A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level. The engines then Fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 4.00 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of' 1 000 m. At that point, its engines fail and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of 9.80 m/s2, (a) For what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground? (b) What is its maximum altitude? (c) What is its velocity just before it hits the ground? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.)
