$\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}\begin{picture}(8,2)\thicklines\multiput(9,1.5)(1,0){50}{\line(1,2){2}}\multiput(35,7)(0,4){13}{\line(0,1){2}}\put(10.5,6){\line(3,0){50}}\put(35,60){\circle*{10}}\put(37,7){\large\sf{u = 56 m/s}}\put(37,55){\large\sf{v = 0 m/s}}\put(21,61){\large\textsf{\textbf{Ball}}}\put(43,40){\line(0, - 4){28}}\put(43,35){\vector(0,4){18}} \put(24, - 3){\large\sf{ \sf g = - 9.8 m/s^2 }}\put(48,30){\large\sf{H = ?}}\end{picture}$

$\frak{Given} \begin{cases} \sf Initial\:velocity\:of\:ball,\:(u) = \frak{56\:m/s} & \\ \\ \sf Final\:velocity\:of\:ball,\:(v) = \frak{0\:m/s}&\end{cases}$

• i) The maximum height at which it rises,

• ii) The total time it takes to return to the surface of the earth.

❍ Let's consider the time taken is "t" to reach the maximum height "H".

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now, By using the 3rd eqⁿ of motion,

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\:{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{v^2 - u^2 = 2gH}}}}}\\\\\\ \bf{\dag}\:{\underline{\frak{Putting\:given\:values\:in\:formula,}}}\\\\\\ :\implies\sf (0)^2 - (56)^2 = 2 \times (-9.8) \times H\\\\\\ :\implies\sf 0 - 3136 = - 19.6 \times H\\\\\\ :\implies\sf - 3136 = - 19.6 H\\\\\\ :\implies\sf H = \cancel{\dfrac{- 3136}{ - 19.6}}\\\\\\ :\implies{\underline{\boxed{\frak{H = 160\:m}}}}\:\bigstar$

$\therefore\:{\underline{\sf{The\:maximum\:height\:at\:which\:the\:ball\:rises\:is\: {\textsf{\textbf{160\:m}}}.}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

Again, By using 1st eqⁿ of motion,

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\:{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{v = u + g \times t}}}}}\\\\\\ \bf{\dag}\:{\underline{\frak{By\:Putting\:given\:values\:in\:formula,}}}\\\\\\ :\implies\sf 0 = 56 + (-9.8) \times t\\\\\\ :\implies\sf 0 = 56 - 9.8t\\\\\\ :\implies\sf 9.8t = 56\\\\\\ :\implies\sf t = \cancel{\dfrac{56}{9.8}}\\\\\\ :\implies{\underline{\boxed{\frak{t = 6\:sec\:(approx.)}}}}\:\bigstar$

$\therefore\:{\underline{\sf{The\:total\:taken\:to\:reach\:the\:ground\:is\: (6 + 6) = {\textsf{\textbf{12\:sec}}}.}}}$
