second after you throw it is m. Then how many seconds will it take for the ball to reach the peak, from the moment you throw the ball?
When you throw a baseball obliquely in the air, it shows a projectile motion as in the picture. Suppose that the height of the ballGravitational acceleration is , and air resistance is negligible.

Δ y , which is the vertical displacement, or height, can be expressed by the following equation: Δ y = v i , y t − 2 1 g t 2 .
By letting Δ y = 2 5 , t = 1 , and g = 1 0 , one can solve for v i , y :
v i , y = Δ y + 2 1 g t 2
v i , y = 3 0
At the peak of its trajectory, we know that the vertical component of its velocity is zero, that is, v f , y = 0 . Using the formula v f , y = v i , y − g t :
t = − g v f , y − v i , y
t = 3
