Answer:
The distance traveled by the ball is 8.5 m
Explanation:
Initial height of the ball, h₁ = 1.5 m above the ground
final height of the ball, h₂ = 5m
Upward distance = distance traveled by the ball from a height of 1.5m to 5m = 5m - 1.5m = 3.5 m
Downward distance = distance traveled by the ball from 5m height to the ground =5m - 0 = 5m
Total distance traveled = upward distance + downward distance
Total distance traveled = 3.5 m + 5m = 8.5 m
Therefore, the distance traveled by the ball is 8.5 m
