A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 15(ms^{-1}). Calculate the maximum height reached. ([g = 10ms^{-2}])

  • A.
    15.25m
  • B.
    13.25m
  • C.
    11.25m
  • D.
    10.25m
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Maximum height (H) = (frac{u^{2}}{2g})

= (frac{15^{2}}{2 times 10} = frac{225}{20})

= (11.25m)
