A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with an initial velocity of 50ms-1. What is the total time spent by the ball in the air? (g = 10ms-2)

A.

2.5s

B.

5.0s

C.

10.0s

D.

15.0s

E.

20.0s

Correct answer is C

Time to move up:

V = U - gt
0 = 50 - 10t
t = 5.

Total time spent on air = 2t = 10.0s
