When you are going down you pick up more speed
Answer:
a) 6.95 m/s
b) 1.42 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 it leaves the ground. is 6.95 m/s

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.71 seconds
b) Time it stayed in the air is 0.71+0.71 = 1.42 seconds
At rest because if the distance is not changing, then it is not moving any further, so it must not be moving! The time keeps going no matter what, so the distance, whether it is 0 m or 10,000 km, if the y is horizontal the distance does not change.
