NEET Physics Uniform & Non-uniform Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s from a height of 25 m. Using the kinematic equation y = y0 + v0t + (1/2)at^2, how long does it take for the ball to reach the ground?

A

5 s

B

6 s

C

4 s

D

7 s

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the equation y = y0 + v0t + (1/2)at^2 with y0 = 25 m, v0 = 20 m/s, a = -10 m/s^2, and y = 0 m, the quadratic equation 5t^2 - 20t - 25 = 0 is solved to find t = 5 s.
