Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of a flagpole after 0.537 s and reaches the level of the top of the pole after a total elapsed time of 4.57 s. What was the speed of the ball at as it passed the top of the flagpole?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The initial time is taken to reach the top,

t0=0.537 s

 

Total time taken,

t2=4.57 s

 

In this case, at the top the speed

v1=0 m/s
