A ball is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a balcony 10m above the ground with a speed of 12m/s. Neglect air resistance and take g=9.8m/s2 downward.
(a) Find the time taken by the ball to reach its highest point.
(b) Calculate the maximum height of the ball measured from the ground.
(c) Determine the total time elapsed from the instant of projection until the ball hits the ground below the balcony.
