A young woman rolls a ball up an incline and then allows it to fall back to her. The acceleration of the ball along the incline is constant at 0.38g, directed downward, where g is the gravitational acceleration. Calculate the total time (s) necessary for the ball to return to the child's hand if it is released at a speed of 3.96 m/s.

Question

A young woman rolls a ball up an incline and then allows it to fall back to her. The acceleration of the ball along the incline is constant at 0.38g, directed downward, where g is the gravitational acceleration. Calculate the total time (s) necessary for the ball to return to the child's hand if it is released at a speed of 3.96 m/s. Only the final answer stated in three decimal places is rounded off.
