The ball spent approximately 1.63 seconds in the air

Maximum height of an object

Given the height of the golf ball expressed according to the equation;

  • h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 16t

The velocity expression is given as:

  • v(t) = -9.8t + 16

If the initial vertical speed of 16 meters per second, hence, at the maximum height, v(t) = 0

-9.8t + 16 = 0

9.8t =  16

t = 16/9.8

t = 1.63 secs

Hence the ball spent approximately 1.63 seconds in th air
