Question

In a cricket match, a cricketer tries to play hook shot but the ball takes the edge of his bat and
rises vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. The fielder settles himself under the
ball and takes the catch comfortably after n seconds since the batsman had edged the ball.
What would be the value of n ?
(Take g = 10 m/s2 and neglect any air resistance)

Answer 1

6 Seconds

:- Since the ball moves vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 30 m/s, we can apply Equations of motion for calculating time.
