Answer #1

SOLUTION;

basketball ball where

initial velocity of basketball

= final velocity of basketball

Their basketball ball toss up so g is negative if ball will be down then g is positive

So, their g= 9.8 m/s​​​​​​2

And x= 1.25 m = distance

We know that

The velocity of ball is = 4.95 m/s leave to ground

ANSWER = 4.95 m/s
