Q. 13. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of . Calculate
(i) the maximum height to which it rises,
The initial velocity of the ball u = 49 m s-1
Final velocity at the highest point would be v = 0
The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity g
Acceleration, a = -g = -9.8 m s-2
Let the maximum height to which it rises be s
Using the third equation of motion we have
The ball would rise to a maximum value of 112.5 m.
