Question

Amina throws the ball straight upward and after 1 second it reaches its maximum height then it does free fall motion which takes 2 seconds. Calculate the maximum height and the velocity of the ball when it reaches the same level on its way down (take g = 10 m/s2)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let the ball be thrown at height H from the ground and initial velocity be u.

Speed of ball at highest point will be zero.

Using first law of motion

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

u=10 m/s

 

Step 2

When the ball is at the ground.

Using second law of motion

Physics homework question answer, step 2, image 1

Therefore H=10 m
