From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
= 2×9.81×0.43
= 8.4366
u = √8.4366
=2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
= 2.905/9.81
= 0.296 seconds
