An object is thrown upward with a speed of 14 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.5 m/s2. How long, in seconds, does it take for the object to reach the maximum height?
The maximum height of the object is where the final velocity becomes zero. The final velocity is obtained by, Vf = V1 - gt Substituting the known values, 0 = 14 m/s - (3.5 m/s²)t The value of t is 4 seconds.
