To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the ball thrown vertically upwards and then falling back down to the thrower's hands. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the total time of flight The total time taken for the ball to return to the thrower's hands is given as 7 seconds. Since the ball goes up and then comes back down, the time taken to reach the highest point (top of the building) is half of the total time. **Calculation:** \[ \text{Time to reach the top} = \frac{7 \text{ s}}{2} = 3.5 \text{ s} ...
