A ball thrown by one player reaches the other in 2 sec. The maximum height attained by the ball above the point of projection will be about:
Correct answer: C. 5 m
- A. 10 m
- B. 7.5 m
- C. 5 m
- D. 2.5 m
Explanation
The maximum height of the projectile can be determined by analyzing the vertical motion. In this case, since the time taken to reach the other player is 2 seconds, the time to reach the maximum height would be half of this, which is 1 second. Using the formula for maximum height and substituting the given values, the correct answer is 5m. The other options are incorrect because they do not apply the correct formula or consider the given information accurately.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
