Question
A body is projected upwards with velocity 9.8 m/s. How long it will take to reach the highest point?
Solution
The velocity with which the body is projected = 9.8 m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Time taken to reach to the highest point is given by,
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Time taken to reach to the highest point is given by,
v = u + at
v = at
t = v/a = 9.8/9.8 = 1 sec
v = at
t = v/a = 9.8/9.8 = 1 sec
