Question

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 40m/s and is caught back. Taking g=10m/s, calculate the maximum height reached by the stone. What is the net displacement and the total distance covered by stone?

Answer 1

totally 8 m is the distance covered by the stone

Answer 2

_/\_Hello mate__here is your answer--

____________________

u = 40 m/s

v = 0 m/s

s = Height of the stone

g = −10 ms^−2 ( upward direction)

Let h be the maximum height attained by the stone.

Using equation of motion under gravity

v^2 − u^2 = 2gs

⇒0^2 − 40^2 = 2(−10)ℎ

⇒ ℎ =40×40/ 20 = 80 m

Therefore, total distance covered by the stone during its upward and downward journey

= 80 + 80 = 160 m

Net displacement during its upward and downward journey

= 80 + (−80) = 0

I hope, this will help you.☺

Thank you______❤
