Can anyone help me with this physics problem?

You toss a tennis ball straight upward. At the moment it leaves your hand it is at a height of 1.5 m above the ground, and it is moving at a speed of 8.4 m/s.

(a) How much time does it take for the tennis ball to reach its maximum height (in seconds)?

(b) What is the maximum height above the ground that the tennis ball reaches (in meters)?

(c) When the tennis ball is at a height of 2.6 m above the ground, what is its speed (in meters per second)?

We're only reviewing motion in a single dimension, so we're not dealing with forces like weight yet; only gravity.

(a) How much time does it take for the tennis ball to reach its maximum height (in seconds)?
t = Vo/g = 8.4/9.8 = 0.857 sec


(b) What is the maximum height above the ground that the tennis ball reaches (in meters)?
H = ho+Δh = 1.5+Vo^2/2g = 1.5+8.4^2/19.6 = 5.10 m


(c) When the tennis ball is at a height of 2.6 m above the ground, what is its speed (in meters per second)?
V = √Vo^2-19.6*(2.6-1.5) = √8.4^2-19.6*1.1 = 7.00 m/sec

I think there is some missing information.

Mass of ball, for starters. If you imagine a heavier ball of the same size (eg: one injected with water) and texture (same, smoother - or not), it'll perform differently.

Surely mass or weight would be a factor in the formula.
