A steel ball is thrown up from the top of a tower of height 125 m with a velocity of 90 m/s . While coming down, it strikes a glass pan, held at half the height of the tower from the ground and loses 50% of its velocity in breaking the glass. Determine the time taken to reach the maximum height and the velocity with which it will strike the ground and total time taken to reach the ground.
The time taken to reach maximum height in seconds is?
The maximum height reached in m is?
The time taken by the steel ball from maximum height to the glass pan in seconds is?

- An object is thrown into the air with initial velocity v = 5m/s. After being released it is only subject to the acceleration due to gravity a = -9.81m/s2 slowing it down. It will, as you know, eventually stop moving upwards and then begin coming back down towards the person who threw it.
