Answer:
0.62 s
Explanation:
given,
maximum height of the flea = 0.49 m
velocity at maximum height = 0 m/s
now, calculating initial velocity
using equation of motion
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h[/tex]
[tex]0^2 = u^2 - 2\times 9.8 \times 0.49[/tex]
[tex]u^2 = 9.604[/tex]
[tex]u = 3\ m/s[/tex]
now, calculating time he take to reach at the highest point
v = u + g t
0 = 3 - 9.8 x t
9.8 t = 3
t = 0.31 s
Time it will be in air will be twice the time it took to reach to the maximum height.
Time for which it was in air = 2 x 0.31 s = 0.62 s
