Question
Q1/A man standing at the top of a building throws a
ball vertically upward with a velocity of 40 m /s The
ball reaches the ground 4.25 s later. (a) What is the
maximum height reached by the ball? (b) How high is
the building? (c) With what velocity will it reach the
ground?
Q2 / A car starts from rest and moves with an
acceleration of 1 m/ s2 for 1 s. The motor is then
turned off and the car is allowed to decelerate, due to
friction, for 10 s at a rate of 5 cm/s2 Then the brakes
are applied and the car is brought to rest in 5 more
seconds. Calculate the total distance traveled by the
car.
