Equations of motion — practice question

A ball is let go from rest at time zero. After $1.0\,\text{ s}$ it strikes a horizontal surface inelastically and rebounds, reaching the highest point of its first bounce after $1.5\,\text{ s}$. What is the ball's total displacement from its starting position after $1.5\,\text{ s}$?

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