A particle is thrown vertically upward. Its velocity at half of the height is 10 m/s, then the maximum height attained by it is (g = 10 m/s2)
- 8 m
- 20 m
- 10 m
- 16 m
Answer
(3) 10 m
Solution
Let the maximum height be H. From height H2 (speed v = 10 m/s) to the top (speed 0):
0 = v2 - 2g ( H2 )
v2 = gH
H = v2g = 10010 = 10 m
