Answer:

  •  His total time in the air is 0.58s.

Explanation:

Given that

  • A basketball player jumps vertically off the ground 5.6m/s

To find

  • Total time in the air.

So, according the question

We have,

initial velocity u = 5.6 m/s

and acceleration due to gravity g = - 9.81 m/s² ( - sign for upward motion )

( ∴ basketball player jumps vertically and he travelled in the air on the action of gravity so we consider his acceleration as g. )

Now, from first equation of motion.

     v = u + at

velocity at highest point will be zero so

     v = 0 ,   u = 5.6 m/s and a = g = - 9.81 m/s²

Now, putting the all values on first equation of motion.

       0 = 5.6 - 9.81 × t

   -5.6 = -9.81 × t

        [tex]t = \frac{5.6}{9.81}[/tex]

       t = 0.58 s.

Answer:

  • His total time in the air is 0.58s.
