4). A basketball player shoots the ball in the air. It moves through the air at 20 m/s and travels 25m. How long was the ball in the air? *

Let's start from this equation:

s = vt + s0

Know what it is? Of course you do. It's the equation used for knowing the position of an object in a certain period of time t.

s is space, v is speed, t is time, s0 is the initial space.

In this case the initial space is equal to 0 so our equation will become:

s = vt

Let's find t:

t = s/v

So:

t = 25m/20m/s = 1,25 s
