Question #2 Report Error
A body is projected vertically upwards with initial velocity u. The time taken to reach maximum height is:
A. u/g
B. u/(2g)
C. 2u/g
D. g/u

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
At maximum height, final velocity v = 0. Using v = u - gt (taking upward positive), 0 = u - gt ⇒ t = u/g. This is time of ascent. Total time of flight would be 2u/g. The equation derives from Newton's first equation of motion under constant acceleration g downward. Memory aid: Time to peak = initial velocity / gravitational acceleration. This fundamental result appears in projectile motion problems. Competitive exams often combine this with energy conservation or symmetry concepts for advanced questions.

Question #3 Report Error
A wire of length L and resistance R is stretched so that its length becomes 3L. New resistance is
A. R/3
B. 3R
C. R/9
D. 9R

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Volume constant, R ∝ L², so (3)²=9 times.
