h1=g•t1²/2=>
t1=2•h1/g= 2•8.2/9.8=1.8 s.
Since the time of ascening = time of descending,
t2=2•h2/g=1.1 s.
h3=5.4-1.4 =4 m
t3=2•h3/g=2•4/9.8=0.82 s.
t=1.8+1.1+0.82=3.72 s.
A golf ball is dropped from rest from a height of 8.20 m. It hits the pavement, then bounces back up, rising just 5.40 m before falling back down again. A boy then catches the ball when it is 1.40 m above the pavement. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the total amount of time that the ball is in the air, from drop to catch.

Elena is incorrect, in that you must take the square root of each thing.
