A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 100ms^(-1). After how much time will it return? Draw velocity -time graph for the ball and find the graph (i) the maximum height attained by the ball and (ii) height of the ball after 15s. Take g=10ms^(-2).

Answer»

Solution :
Here, `u=100ms^(-1)""g=-10ms^(-2)`
At HIGHEST point, v=0
As `v=u+gt therefore 0=100 -10 xx t`
Time taken to reach highest point, `t=(100)/(10)=10S`
The ball will return to the GROUND at t=20s
Corresponding velocity -time graph of the ball is shown in
(i) Maximum height attained the ball =Area of `triangleAOB=1/2 xx 10 xx 10=500m`
(ii) Height attained after 15s= Area of `triangleAOB+"Area of "triangleBCD`
`=500+1/2(15-10)xx (-50)=500-125=375m`
