A ball is thrown upwards from a height of 15 m off the ground with a speed of 12 m / s The ball is subject to a gravitational force that produces a downwards acceleration of 9.8m / (s ^ 2) Given that (d ^ 2 * h)/(d * t ^ 2) = - 9.8 determine how many seconds it will take from when the ball is thrown until it hits the ground. Round your answer to one decimal place.
