The time of flight for a ball thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity can be determined using the laws of motion and assuming no other external factors such as air resistance are present.
When the ball is thrown vertically upward, it will eventually reach its highest point where its velocity becomes zero before starting to fall back down. The time it takes for the ball to reach this highest point is half of the total time of flight, as the ball will spend an equal amount of time on the way down.
The formula to calculate the time of flight for an object thrown vertically upward is:
Time of Flight = 2 * (initial velocity / acceleration due to gravity)
Here, the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (9.8 m/s²) or 32.2 feet per second squared (32.2 ft/s²), depending on the units used.
To calculate the time of flight, you need to know the initial velocity of the ball. If you provide the initial velocity, I can calculate the time of flight for you.
