Motion Under Gravity

A student is throwing balls vertically upwards such that he throws the 22nd ball when the 11st ball reaches maximum height. If he throws balls at an interval of 3 second, the maximum height of the balls is (g=10 ms2)\left(g = 10\,\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}\right)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. The next ball is thrown when the previous one is at the top, so time to reach the top =3= 3 s.
  2. u=gt=10×3=30u = gt = 10 \times 3 = 30 m/s
  3. H=u22g=90020=45H = \frac{u^2}{2g} = \frac{900}{20} = 45 m
  4. So the answer is (a) 45 m.
