A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is
A. 45 m
B. 90 m
C. 180 m
D. 30 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
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.

Question #3
If the kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%, its momentum will increase by:
A. 200%
B. 100%
C. 150%
D. 300%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The relationship between kinetic energy (K) and momentum (p) is K = p² / 2m. If K is increased by 300%, the new kinetic energy K' = K + 3K = 4K. Since p = √(2mK), the new momentum p' = √(2m × 4K) = 2√(2mK) = 2p. The momentum has doubled. Percentage increase = [(2p - p)/p] × 100 = 100%.
