A body is thrown vertically upward with velocity u,

Question:

A body is thrown vertically upward with velocity u, the greatest height $h$ to which it will rise is,

Solution:

(b) Explanation: $u^{2}-v^{2}=-2 g h$ or $0-u^{2}=-2 g h$ ( $\therefore u=0$ at highest point).

$\therefore h=u^{2} / 2 g$.
