The body is thrown from the surface of the Earth vertically upwards with an initial speed of 19.6 m / s. Find your ascent time.

The speed of movement of a given body can be set by the formula:

V = V0 + a * t, where, according to the condition of the problem, V0 (the speed with which the body was thrown up) = 19.6 m / s; a (body acceleration) = -g (gravitational acceleration, equally slow motion) = – 9.8 m / s2.

The speed of the body when reaching the maximum height will be equal to zero.

0 = V – g * t and t = V / g.

Let’s perform the calculation:

t = 19.6 / 9.8 = 2 s.

Answer: The lifting time of a given body will be 2 seconds.
