A ball is thrown upward from an initial height of 1.5m the ball reaches a height of 5m then falls to the ground . What Is the distance traveled by the ball?

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
