An object is protected with a velocity of 100m -1 at an angle of 60

PHYSICS
WAEC 1998

An object is protected with a velocity of 100m-1 at an angle of 60o to the vertical. Calculate the time taken by the object to reach the highest point (Take g as 10ms-2

  • A. 5.0s
  • B. 8.7s
  • C. 10.0s
  • D. 17.3s

Correct Answer: B. 8.7s

Explanation

t = \(\frac{T}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g} = \frac{100 \times \sin 60}{10}\)

10 sin60 = 10 x 0.8660

= 8.7
