If a body is thrown up with the velocity of 15 m/s then maximum height attained by the body is (g = 10 m/s²)
Correct Answer :
11.25 m
Solution :
To find the maximum height attained by a body thrown vertically upwards, we can use the equations of motion under gravity.
Let's list the given parameters:
- Initial velocity,
- Acceleration due to gravity,
- Since the body is moving upwards, the acceleration acting on it is against the direction of motion, so .
- At the maximum height (), the final velocity of the body becomes zero, so .
We use the third equation of motion:
Substituting and into the equation:
Now, substitute the given values into the formula:
Therefore, the maximum height attained by the body is 11.25 m.
