7.4 s

Explanation:

Given:

[tex]v_0 = 73\:\text{m/s}[/tex]

[tex]v = 0[/tex]

[tex]a = -9.8\:\text{m/s}^2[/tex]

[tex]t = ?[/tex]

To solve the time it takes for the object to come to a stop, we are going to use the equation below:

[tex]v = v_0 + at \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v - v_0}{a}[/tex]

Using the given values above, we get

[tex]t = \dfrac{0 - 73\:\text{m/s}}{-9.8\:\text{m/s}^2}[/tex]

[tex]\;\;\;\;= 7.4\:\text{s}[/tex]
