Question 771090: If you throw an object into the air, the time to go up to its maximum height equals the time to fall down from that same height. Tim throws a baseball next to a 60-foot flag-pole straight up into the air. The ball peaks at 10 feet above the flag-pole. How long is the ball in the air? Assume Tim releases the ball at 6 feet from the ground and catches the ball at that same height. (Hint: Assume the ball has no vertical movement at its peak.)

If you provide the function that returns height displacement for the vertical motion of an object propelled upward from near the surface of planet earth as a function of the time and given the initial velocity and initial height parameters, then this is an algebra problem.

If you do not provide the function (and you did not), then this is a Physics problem. Please seek help for your Physics problems on a science homework help site.
