उत्तर
Given:
Initial speed of the ball, u = 50 m/s
Acceleration, a = −10 m/s2
At the highest point, velocity v of the ball is 0.
From v2 − u2 = 2 as, we have:
\[v = \sqrt{\left( u^2 + 2 as \right)}\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\left( 50 \right)^2 + 2 \times \left( - 10 \right) \times \left( 62 . 5 \right)} = \sqrt{\left( 2500 - 1250 \right)}\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{1250} \approx 35 \text{ m } /s\]

A three-wheeler starts from rest, accelerates uniformly with 1 m s–2 on a straight road for 10 s, and then moves with uniform velocity. Plot the distance covered by the vehicle during the nth second (n = 1,2,3….) versus n. What do you expect this plot to be during accelerated motion: a straight line or a parabola?
Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff 200 m high with initial speeds of 15 m/s and 30 m/s. Verify that the graph shown in Fig. 3.27 correctly represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first. Neglect air resistance and assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground. Take g = 10 m/s2. Give the equations for the linear and curved parts of the plot.
