DEAR STUDENT
Suppose a body is projected in the upward direction with a velocity u and H is maximum height attained by the body.
The velocity of the body at maximum height will be zero, i.e. v = 0.
Acceleration due to gravity (g) acts on body in the downward direction.
From the first equation of motion,
v=u+at
⇒0=u−gtascent
⇒tascent=u/g
Let t be total time of flight. From the second equation of motion,
S=ut+1/2at2
⇒0=t(u−1/2gt)
⇒t=0,t=2ug
Now, tascent+tdescent=t=2u
/g
⇒tdescent=u/g
⇒tascent=tdescent=u/g
