⠀→ A stone is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², find the maximum height reached by the stone. What is the net displacement and the total distance covered by the stone when it falls back to the ground ? |

Answer» Answer:
Explanation: <U>Given:-
To FIND:-
Solution:- Firstly we calculate the maximum height attained by the stone when it is thrown . Using 3rd equation of motion
where,
Substitute the value we get → 0² = 40² + 2 (-10) × h → 0 = 1600 -20h → -1600 = -20h → 20h = 1600 → h = 1600/20 → h = 80 m
The total distance covered by the stone when it falls back to the ground is 80 + 80 = 160 metres And the net displacement of the stone is 0 metres (as the stone reached its initial position). |
