A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 49 m/s. Calculate
- the maximum height to which it rises.
- the total time it takes to return to the surface of the earth.

उत्तर
i. Initial velocity = 49m/s
Final velocity at maximum height = 0
g = −9.8m/s2 since the ball is moving in the opposite direction
Let the maximum height = h
Third equation of motion
v2 = u2 + 2gh
02 = (49)2 + 2x (−9.8) × h
2401 = 2 × 9.8h
122.5m = h
ii. Let the time taken to reach the maximum height = t
The first equation of motion
v = u + gt
0 = 49 + (−9.8) × t
49 = 9.8 × t
t = `49/9.8`
t = 5s
Time taken to reach maximum height = 5s
Total time taken by the ball to reach back to the earth 5 + 5 = 10s

Write acceleration due to gravity value on the surface of Earth.
The mass and weight of an object on earth are 5 kg and 49 N respectively. What will be their values on the moon? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on the earth.
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions.
We know that the force of gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying on it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands, the only force that acts on it is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and a buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is possible only in a vacuum.
1) Complete the following statement by choosing the right option.
The stone held in the hand is stable because on it __.
- two unbalanced forces are exerted.
- only the gravitational force of the earth is exerted.
- gravitational force of the earth is not exerted.
- two balanced forces are exerted.
2) Why does free fall not happen on the earth?
3) Why does the velocity of the object increase during the free fall?
4) Which type of force exerts on the object during free fall?
5) Why does free fall happen only in a vacuum?
