Answer #1

Horizontal velocity= 25cos40

vertical velocity=25 sin40

applying s=ut+0.5at2 in vertical direction

0=(25sin40)t+0.5(-g)t2

t=(25sin40)/0.5g=3.2795sec

Answer #2

SOLUTION 


Vertical component of initial velocity = uV = 25 sin(40) = 17.67767 m/s


Now, as ball goes up against gravity, velocity decreases at the rate of g = 9.8 m/s^2

=> v = uV - 9.8 t

At maximum height, velocity = 0

=> 0 = 17.67767 - 9.8 t 

=> t = time to reach maximum height = 17.67767/9.8 = 1.80 sec.


Time to come down to ground = time taken to reach maximum height = 1.80 sec


So,


Total time ball is in air

 = time to go up + time to come down 

= 1.80 + 1.80

= 3.60 sec. (ANSWER).

> There is a calculation error, 25 sin(40) = 16.07 m/s and not 17.67767. So final answer would be 3.28 sec and not 3.60 sec. Please see the correct answer in the next answer by me.

Answer #3

SOLUTION 


Vertical component of initial velocity = uV = 25 sin(40) = 16.07 m/s


Now, as ball goes up against gravity, velocity decreases at the rate of g = 9.8 m/s^2

=> v = uV - 9.8 t

At maximum height, velocity = 0

=> 0 = 16.07 - 9.8 t 

=> t = time to reach maximum height = 16.07/9.8 = 1.64sec.


Time to come down to ground = time taken to reach maximum height = 1.64 sec


So,


Total time ball is in air

 = time to go up + time to come down 

= 1.64 + 1.64

= 3.28 sec. (ANSWER).
