$A$ person sitting on the ground floor of a building notices through a window of height $1.5 \; m$ that a ball dropped from the roof of the building crosses the window in $0.1 \; s$. What is the velocity (in $m/s$) of the ball when it is at the topmost point of the window? (Take $g = 10 \; m/s^2$)

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $15.5$
  • C
    $14.5$
  • D

An object of mass $5 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards from the ground. The air resistance produces a constant retarding force of $10 \, N$ throughout the motion. The ratio of time of ascent to the time of descent will be equal to [Use $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$]

$A$ ball falls vertically downward and bounces off a horizontal floor. The speed of the ball just before reaching the floor $(u_1)$ is equal to the speed just after leaving contact with the floor $(u_2)$,where $u_1 = u_2$. The corresponding magnitudes of accelerations are denoted respectively by $a_1$ and $a_2$. The air resistance during motion is proportional to speed and is not negligible. If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,then:

$A$ student performs an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity $g$.
