I think that ball a hit the ground because it says that it went straight down.
Acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.
<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>
Acceleration is defined as the ratio of the change in velocity to time. It is defined as the extent to which the velocity changes within a given time interval.
The question is incomplete so we can not arrive at the final answer. However, acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

Answer:8.75 s,
136.89 m
Explanation:
Given
Initial velocity
velocity after 5 s is 
Therefore acceleration during these 5 s
therefore time required to stop
v=u+at
here v=final velocity =0 m/s
initial velocity =31.29 m/s
(b)total distance traveled before stoppage
s=136.89 m
Answer:
The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down
On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis
Y axis
N- W = 0
N = W = mg
X axis
-Fr = m a
-μ N = m a
-μ mg = ma
a = μ g
a = - 0.32 9.8
a = - 3.14 m/s²
We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations
Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x
x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a
When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)
Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s
x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)
x= 35.8 m
The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m
