Problem

A ball is thrown straight upward. You are given its initial velocity uu, the acceleration due to gravity gg (taken as −9.8 m/s2-9.8\,\text{m/s}^2) and the time of flight tt. You wish to calculate its displacement ss at that time without first finding its final velocity. Which of the following kinematic relations is the most direct choice? (a) s=vt+12gt2s = vt + \dfrac12 gt^2 (b) s=ut−12gt2s = ut - \dfrac12 gt^2 (c) s=ut+12gt2s = ut + \dfrac12 gt^2 (d) s=(u+v)ts = (u+v)t
