Anaya goodloe decides to spike the football after a big touchdown (on earth) and it
bounces back up off the ground and is airborne for 3.2 seconds. with what velocity did the football leave the ground after the spike?

The football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The football bounces back up off the ground and is airborne for, t = 3.2 s

Let the football bounces back up off the ground in the vertical direction

The formula for time of flight is given by,

                              t = 2u /g

∴                             u = gt / 2

Substituting the values,

                               u = 9.8 x 3.2 / 2

                                u = 15.68 m/s

Hence, the football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s
