The ball will take 6.3 seconds to reach the maximum height and hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

a). When a ball was thrown upwards with an initial velocity u then maximum height achieved h will be represented by the equation

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity at the maximum height h

and g = gravitational force

Now we plug in the values in the equation

At maximum height final velocity v = 0

0 = (28)² - 2×(9.8)h

19.6h = (28)²

h =

  =

  = 40 meter

B). If the ball misses the building and hits the ground then we have to find the time after which the ball hits the ground that will be

= Time to reach the maximum height + time to hit the ground from the maximum height

Time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height.

Equation to find the time will be v = u - gt

Now we plug in the values in the equation

0 = 28 - 9.8t

t =

 = 2.86 seconds

Now time taken by the ball to hit the ground from its maximum height.

H = ut +

(17 + 40) = 0 +

57 = 4.9(t)²

t² =

t² = 11.63

t = √(11.63)

 = 3.41 seconds

Now total time taken by the ball = 2.86 + 3.41

                                                      = 6.27 seconds

                                                      ≈ 6.3 seconds

Therefore, the ball will take 6.3 seconds to reach the maximum height and hit the ground.
