The ball was thrown vertically upward at a speed of 10 m / s. How long does it take for the ball to reach its highest point?

Initial data: V (the speed with which the ball was thrown vertically upwards) = 10 m / s.

Constants: g (acceleration of gravity) = -a (slow motion of the ball) = 10 m / s ^ 2.

The time when the ball reaches the highest point, we express from the formula: V = V0 + a * t.

At the highest point, the speed of the ball will be zero and it will begin to fall due to gravity. Therefore, V = 0 m / s.

The formula will take the form: 0 = V0 – g * t.

t = V0 / g = 10/10 = 1 s.

Answer: The ball will reach the highest point in 1 second.
