A body of mass 20g projected vertically upwards in vacuum returns to the point of projection after 1.2s. [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)]. Calculate the speed of projection

  • A. 1.2ms-1
  • B. 6.0ms-1
  • C. 12.0ms-1
  • D. 0.6ms-1

Correct Answer: C. 12.0ms-1

Explanation

V = u - gt

u = v + gt

= 0 + 10 x 1.2

= 12ms\(^{-1}\)
