A ball or object is thrown vertically upward from ground level, and the question asks for velocity at a given time, maximum height, time at a certain height, or ratios involving these quantities.
42. A bullet is fired vertically upward from the Earth's surface and reaches a height of 42 meters above the Earth's surface, and its kinetic energy decreases by 30\%. What is the maximum height (in meters) this bullet reaches above the Earth's surface? (air resistance is negligible and $g = 10\,\dfrac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}^2}$) (1) 96 (2) 120 (3) 140 (4) 149
A ball is thrown up with a certain velocity so that it reaches a height $h$. Find the ratio of the two different times of the ball reaching $\frac { h } { 3 }$ in both the directions. (1) $\frac { \sqrt { 2 } - 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } + 1 }$ (2) $\frac { 1 } { 3 }$ (3) $\frac { \sqrt { 3 } - \sqrt { 2 } } { \sqrt { 3 } + \sqrt { 2 } }$ (4) $\frac { \sqrt { 3 } - 1 } { \sqrt { 3 } + 1 }$
A ball is thrown up vertically with a certain velocity so that, it reaches a maximum height $h$. Find the ratio of the times in which it is at height $\frac { h } { 3 }$ while going up and coming down respectively. (1) $\frac { \sqrt { 2 } - 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } + 1 }$ (2) $\frac { \sqrt { 3 } - \sqrt { 2 } } { \sqrt { 3 } + \sqrt { 2 } }$ (3) $\frac { \sqrt { 3 } - 1 } { \sqrt { 3 } + 1 }$ (4) $\frac { 1 } { 3 }$
