A ball is thrown vertically upwards with | Class 9 Science Chapter Gravitation, Gravitation NCERT Solutions

Question:

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 49 m/s. Calculate
(i) the maximum height to which it rises,
(ii) the total time it takes to return to the surface of the earth.

Answer:

We know that the equation of motion under gravity:

v2 − u2 = 2 gs

Where,

u = Initial velocity of the ball

v = Final velocity of the ball

s = Height achieved by the ball

g = Acceleration due to gravity

At maximum height, final velocity of the ball is zero, i.e., v = 0

u = 49 m/s

During upward motion, g = − 9.8 m s−2

(i) Let; h = the maximum height attained by the ball.

Hence,

(ii) Let; t = time taken by the ball to reach the height 122.5 m

 then using the equation of motion:

v = u + gt

We get,

But,

Time of ascent = Time of descent

Therefore, total time taken by the ball to return = 5 + 5 = 10 s
