Motion Under Gravity

If a ball is thrown vertically upwards with speed u, the distance covered during the last t seconds of its ascent is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

By symmetry, the last $t$ seconds of ascent mirror the first $t$ seconds of a fall from rest at the top.
Distance $= \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ , independent of $u$ .
So the answer is (b) $\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ .
