Motion Under Gravity question?

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from ground level with initial speed of 7m/s. Assume that no resistance forces act on the ball, so it moves only under the influence of gravity.

a) Find the maximum height of the ball

Answer: 2.5m

b) The ball hits the ground T seconds after it was thrown. Find T

-----

useful equations:

s=ut+1/2at^2

v=u+at

v^2=u^2+2as

Where: S = displacement U = initial velocity T = change in time A = acceleration V = final velocity

For b), can you please explain how you got your answer as coherently as possible. I have the answer at the back of my textbook, I just don't know how to get to it.

Thanks!
