Equations of motion — practice question

A ball is let go from rest at position $X$ at time zero. At $1.0\text{ s}$, it undergoes an inelastic bounce off a horizontal surface and then rises, arriving at the highest point of its first rebound at $1.5\text{ s}$. What is the ball's total displacement from its starting position $X$ at $1.5\text{ s}$?

  • A$1.25\text{ m}$
  • B$3.75\text{ m}$
  • C$5.00\text{ m}$
  • D$6.25\text{ m}$
