Position-time graph

A $300 \text{ g}$ football is kicked in a direction that makes a $30^\circ$ angle with the horizon. The above graph depicts the vertical position (in meters) of the football. If $h_0 =80,$ how long (in seconds) does the football fly before falling back to the ground?

The air resistance is negligible and the gravitational acceleration is $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2.$

A body of mass $m = 3 \text{ kg}$ is projected in a direction that makes a $\theta = 30^\circ$ angle with the horizon. The above graph shows the vertical position of the body with respect to time $t$ (in seconds). If $t_0= 8 \text{ s}$ and $h_0=160 \text{ m},$ how far does the body fly horizontally?

The air resistance is negligible and the gravitational acceleration is $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2.$

80 \sqrt{2} \text{ m}

240 \sqrt{3} \text{ m}
