Answer:
1.78 m upward
Explanation:
We can find the displacement of the volleyball by using the SUVAT equation:
[tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2ad[/tex]
where, assuming upward as positive direction:
u = 6.0 m/s is the initial velocity
v = 1.1 m/s is the final velocity
a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
d is the displacement
Solving the equation for d, we find:
[tex]d=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{1.1^2-6.0^2}{2(-9.8)}=1.78 m[/tex]
And since it is positive, the displacement is upward.
