As per the kinematics equation
[tex]\delta s = v_i * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]
when glove comes back to his hand the displacement will become zero
[tex] 0 = v_i * t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2[/tex]
[tex]0 = 6 * t - 4.9 t^2[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.22 s[/tex]
Part b)
Now as per symmetric nature the time to reach the top will be same as the time to come back again
so here we can say
[tex]T = t + t[/tex]
[tex]1.22 = 2t[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.61 s[/tex]
so it took 0.61 s to reach the top
