Which equation would best help solve the following problem? Hideki throws a baseball ball upward with an initial velocity of 12 meters/sec. When he throws the ball, it is two meters above the ground. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground?
The total time of flight of a projectile motion is calculated through the equation, t = 2v₀sinФ/g Substituting the known values, t = (2)(12 m/s)(sin 90)/9.8 m/s² t = 2.45 s Thus, the total flight time of the ball in the atmosphere is 2.45 s.
