Problem

A ball is thrown from ground level with a speed of 20 m s−120\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} making an angle of 30∘30^{\circ} with the horizontal. Take g=10 m s−2g = 10\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. Calculate the total time of flight of the ball. (a) 3.5 s3.5\,\text{s} (b) 1.0 s1.0\,\text{s} (c) 2.0 s2.0\,\text{s} (d) 2.5 s2.5\,\text{s}
