A soccer ball kicked on a level field has an initial vertical velocity component of 15.0 mps. assuming the ball lands at the same height from which it was kicked was the total time of the ball in the air?

3seconds

Explanation:

Time of flight of an object is the time taken by the object to spend in the air before landing. Mathematically it is represented as;

T = 2u/g

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

If the vertical velocity component (u) is given as 15m/s, the time of flight will be;

T = 2(15)/10

T = 30/10

T = 3seconds.

Therefore the total time by the ball in the air is 3seconds

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
