Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 1]PhysicsRest and Motion Kinematics
A ball is projected vertically upward at a speed of 50 m/s . Determine the maximum height in m. Take g = 10 m/s ^2 .
Options
- A250
- B125
- C5
- D50
Correct answer
B. 125
Step-by-step solution
Using the equation of motion v^2 = u^2 + 2as . At the maximum height, the final velocity v = 0 . Substituting the given values u = 50 m/s and a = -g = -10 m/s ^2 : 0 = (50)^2 - 2(10)H 20H = 2500 H = 2500 20 = 125 m
