A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100 m s how long will it take to hit the ground?

To determine how long it will take for the Baseball to hit the ground after being hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100 m/s, we can use the kinematic equations of motion. The time to reach the maximum height can be calculated using the formula ( t = \frac{v}{g} ), where ( v ) is the initial velocity (100 m/s) and ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²). This gives us a time of about 10.2 seconds to reach the peak. Since the time to ascend and descend is equal, the total time for the baseball to hit the ground is approximately 20.4 seconds.
