Question

An object is thrown into the air with initial velocity v = 5m/s. After being released it is only subject to the acceleration due to gravity a = -9.81m/s2 slowing it down. It will, as you know, eventually stop moving upwards and then begin coming back down towards the person who threw it. At the top most point of its journey, it will be at rest for a brief instant in time. How long from when it was initially thrown until it reaches its highest point in the air?
