A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 20m/s. If g = 10m/s2, find(1) Time is taken by the stone to reach the maximum height.(2) Total distance covered by the stone to reach the maximum height. |
Answer» We are given that: Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s When an object attain maximum height, then final velocity (ν) = 0 a = g = 10m/s2, time (t) = ? (1) From first equation of motion, we have v = u – gt ⇒ 0 = 20 - 10 x t ⇒ 10t = 20 ⇒ t = 2 sec (2) From third equation of motion, we have ⇒ (0)2 = (20)2 - 2 x 10 x h ⇒ 20h = 20 x 20 ⇒ h = 20 m |
