Question

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find

The velocity with which the ball is thrown up.

Answer 1

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Step-by-step explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s
