AIPMT PRELIMS 2005 Physics Projectile Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A ball is thrown vertically upward. It has a speed of 10 m/s when it has reached one half of its maximum height. How high does the ball rise? (Taking g = 10 m/s²)

A

6 m

B

10 m

C

14 m

D

18 m

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using energy conservation, at half the maximum height, the kinetic energy is half of the initial kinetic energy. Solving for maximum height using v² = u² - 2gh gives h = 10 m.
