Question

A stone is thrown in a vertically
upward direction with a velocity
of 5 ms. If the acceleration of the
stone during its motion is 10 m s-2
in the downward direction, what
will be the height attained by the
stone and how much time will it
take to reach there?​

Answer 1

Given, initial velocity, u=5ms

−1

Final velocity, v=0

Since, u is upward & a is downward, it is a retarded motion.

∴a=−10ms

−2

Height attained by stone, s=?

Time take to attain height, t=?

(i) Using the relation, v

2

−u

=2as, we have

s=v

/2×(−10)=1.25m

(ii) Using the relation, v=u+at

0=5+(−10)t or

t=5/10=0.5s
