JEE Main2015PhysicsMotion in One DimensionActual
From the top of a 64 metres high tower, a stone is thrown upwards vertically with the velocity of 48 m / s . The greatest height (in metres) attained by the stone, assuming the value of the gravitational acceleration g = 32 m / s 2 , is:
Options
- A112
- B88
- C128
- D100
Correct answer
D. 100
Step-by-step solution
We know that v 2 = u 2 + 2 g s . At greatest height v = 0 u = 48   m / sec g = - 32  m / sec 2 S = 48 × 48 2.32 = 36   m Total distance = 64   m + 36   m = 100   m = 100   m
