A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is
A. 30 m
B. 45 m
C. 90 m
D. 180 m
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Total time of flight T = 2u/g => u = gT/2 = 10×6/2 = 30 m/s. Max height H = u²/(2g) = 900/20 = 45 m. Alternatively, time to max height = 3 s, H = ½g t² = ½×10×9 = 45 m.

The slope of a velocity-time graph gives
A. Distance
B. Speed
C. Displacement
D. Acceleration

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Slope = dv/dt = acceleration. Area under v-t gives displacement. Often confused.

The force that keeps a body moving in a circular path is called
A. Centripetal force
B. Gravitational force
C. Centrifugal force
D. Frictional force

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Centripetal force acts towards centre, necessary for circular motion. Centrifugal is pseudo-force in rotating frame. In uniform circular motion, centripetal force = mv²/r.

A spring stores 18 J energy when stretched 3 cm. Force constant k is:
A. 200 N/m
B. 2 N/m
C. 40000 N/m
D. 6 N/m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Elastic PE: U = ½kx² ⇒ k = 2U/x². x = 3 cm = 0.03 m. k = 2×18/(0.03)² = 36/0.0009 = 40000 N/m. Unit conversion critical: cm to m. Memory aid: 'k = 2U/x²; always use SI units'. Tests spring energy formula application with unit conversion, frequently appearing in competitive exams.
