Answer:
1. t = 0.995 s
2. h = 15.92 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to look at the following formula
Vf = Vo + gt
then we work it to clear what we want
Vo + gt = Vf
gt = Vf - Vo
t = (Vf-Vo)/g
Now we have to complete the formula with the real data
Vo = 32 ft/s as the statement says
Vf = 0 because when it reaches its maximum point it will stop before starting to lower
g = -32,16 ft/s² it is a known constant, that we use it with the negative sign because it is in the opposite direction to ours
t = (0 ft/s - 32 ft/s) / -32,16 ft/s²
we solve and ...
t = 0.995 s
Now we will implement this result in the following formula to get the height at that time
h = (Vo - Vf) *t /2
h = (32 ft/s - 0 ft/s) * 0.995 s / 2
h = 32 ft/s * 0.995 s/2
h = 31.84 ft / 2
h = 15.92 ft
