Question

A stone is thrown vertically upward with the velocity of 25 m/s. How long day

it take to reach the maximum height? Also calculate the height​

Answer 1

The stone takes 2.55 sec to reach a maximum height of 31.89 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical Motion

When an object is thrown vertically up with a speed vo, it loses speed because of the effect of the gravity and gains height until the speed is eventually zero. The height attained at that time is called maximum height, and can be calculated as follows:

`\displaystyle h_m=(v_o^2)/(2g)`

Since vo=25 m/s

`\displaystyle h_m=(25^2)/(2\cdot 9.8)=31.89\ m`

Also, the time taken to reach the maximum height is calculated by:

`\displaystyle t_m=(v_o)/(g)`

`\displaystyle t_m=(25)/(9.8)=2.55\ s`

The stone takes 2.55 sec to reach a maximum height of 31.89 m
