Answer:
a) 4.45 m/s
b) 0.9 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
a) The vertical speed when the player leaves the ground is 4.45 m/s
Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.45 seconds
Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.45 seconds
b) Time the player stayed in the air is 0.45+0.45 = 0.9 seconds
