Answer:
The time when the ball strikes the ground is closest to [tex]t_t = 9.4 \ s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time of projection is t = 0.0 s
The distance of the point from the ground is [tex]d = 90 \ m[/tex]
The initial velocity of the ball is [tex]v _i = 36 .2 \ m/s[/tex]
generally the time required to reach maximum height is
[tex]t_r = \frac{g}{v}[/tex]
Where is the acceleration due to gravity with value [tex]g = 9.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Substituting values
[tex]t_r = \frac{36.2}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]t_r = 3.69 s[/tex]
when returning the time and velocity at the roof level is t = 3.69 s and u = 36.2 m/s this due to the fact that air resistance is negligible
The final velocity at which it hit the ground is
[tex]v_f^2 = u^2 + 2ag[/tex]
So
[tex]v_f = \sqrt{ u^2 + 2gs}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v_f = \sqrt{ 3.69^2 + 2* 9.8 * 90}[/tex]
[tex]v_f = 55.45 \ m/s[/tex]
The time taken for the ball to move from the roof level to the ground is
[tex]t_g = \frac{v-u}{a}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t_g = \frac{55.45 -36.2}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]t_g = 1.96 \ s[/tex]
The total time for this travel is
[tex]t_t = t_g + 2 t_r[/tex]
[tex]t_t = 1.96 + 2(3.69)[/tex]
[tex]t_t = 9.4 \ s[/tex]
