Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 3. (d)
Solution:
- When a ball is thrown vertically upward, then the acceleration of the ball,
Now, using the equation of motion,
As we know, momentum,
So, substituting the value of
As we know that, at the maximum height, velocity of the ball thrown would be zero.
So, for the flight when the ball is thrown till is reaches the maximum height
Similarly, when it reacher it’s initial point, then
Also,
Thus, these conditions are only satisfied in the plot given in option (d).
