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.
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.
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.
