A juggler is performing an act by juggling several balls. The juggler throws the balls up at an initial height of 3.9 feet with a speed of 14.8 feet per second. If the juggler did not catch a ball, about how long will it take the ball to hit the floor?

1.45 secs

1.14 secs

0.28 secs

0.21 secs

I'm trying to do a series of problems like these, but I really don't understand what I'm doing. Any detailed explanations would be great :)
