Physics Question on Motion in a Straight Line
A ball is thrown vertically upward. It has a speed of 10m/s when it has reached one half of its maximum height. How high does the ball rise?(Taking g=10 m/s2)
A
6m
B
10m
C
14m
D
18m
Answer
10m
Explanation
Solution
From third equation of motion,v2 =u2−2g h
0=u2 −2g (2h)
h=gu2 = 10102
=10m
Therefore, the correct option is (B): 10m
