When a cricket ball is thrown vertically upwards, it reaches a maximum height of 5 metres. (a) What was the initial speed of the ball ? (b) How much time is taken by the ball to reach the highest point ? (g=10 ms2 ) |

Answer» Initial velocity, u=? Final velocity, v=0 Acceleration due to gravity, g=-10m/s2 Height, h=5 m (a) For a freely falling body: v2 = u2 + 2gh (0)2 = u2 + 2 x(-10)x 5 0= u2 -100 u2 = 100 So, u=10m/s (b) Using relation, v=u + gt 0 = 10 + (-10) t -10= -10 t t=1sec |
