Q2 of 24 Page 57

A body is thrown vertically upward with velocity u, the greatest height h to which it will rise is,

Initial velocity be u


Final Velocity (v)= 0


Acceleration on the body is –g


Hence, from the equation of motion


We have


v2 = u2 +2as


0 = u2 – 2gh


h = u2/2g


So. u2/2g is correct option.

A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r. The displacement after half a circle would be:

The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is

If the displacement of an object is proportional to square of time, then the object moves with

From the given v – t graph (Fig. 8.1), it can be inferred that the object is
