Practice question
Question
A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed of 15m/s. What is the time taken to reach its maximum height? (Take g\=10m/s2)
Explanation
At max height v=0. Using v²=u²-2gh from NCERT kinematics, h=u²/2g. With u=15 m/s and g=10 m/s², h=11.2 m. This matches option A (11.2 m). Other options do not satisfy v²=u²+2as with correct signs.
