Question 20

A ball is thrown vertically upwards at a speed of 6.0 m/s.

All of the energy initially in the kinetic store of the ball is transferred to its gravitational potential store when the ball reaches its maximum height.

Taking the gravitational field strength and acceleration due to gravity to be 9.8 m/s2, which equation gives the maximum height h h\,h reached by the ball?

A

h=9.82×6.02h = \frac{9.8}{2 \times 6.0^2}h=2×6.029.8​

B

h=6.02×29.8h = \frac{6.0^2 \times 2}{9.8}h=9.86.02×2​

C

h=6.022×9.8h = \frac{6.0^2}{2 \times 9.8}h=2×9.86.02​

D

h=2×9.86.02h = \frac{2 \times 9.8}{6.0^2}h=6.022×9.8​
