Motion Under Gravity

This document discusses motion under gravity and contains examples of calculating heights, velocities, and times for objects thrown or dropped vertically from towers or buildings. Equations of motion like the relationship between acceleration, velocity, time, and displacement are used to solve for unknown values. Graphs of displacement, velocity, and acceleration over time are also discussed.

Motion under gravity

1. A ball thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 19.6 m/s from the top of a tower returns to the earth
in 6 s. Find the height of the tower.

2. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 m/s from the top of a multistoreyed building.
The height of the point from where the ball is thrown is 25 m from the ground. (i) How high will the ball
rise. (ii) How long will it be before the ball hits the ground?

3. A stone thrown upwards from the top of a tower 85 m high, reaches the ground in 5s. Find (i) The
velocity with which it reaches the ground (ii) The greatest height above the ground. (take g = 10/s 2).

4. From the top of a multistoreyed building, 39.2 m tall, a boy projects a stone vertically upwards with an
initial velocity of 9.8 m/s such that it finally drops to the ground. (i) When will the stone reach the
ground? (ii) When will it pass through the point of projection? (iii) What will be its velocity before
striking the ground? g = 9.8 m/s2.

5. A player throws a ball upwards with an initial speed of 29.4 m/s

(i) What is the direction of acceleration during the upward motion of the ball?

(ii) What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point of its motion?

(iii) To what height does the ball rise and after how long does the ball return to the player’s hands?

6. A ball is dropped from the roof of a tower of height h. the total distance covered by it in the last
second of its motion is equal to the distance covered by it in first three seconds. What is the value of h?
(g= 10 m/s2)

7. A stone is dropped from the top of cliff and is found to travel 44.1 m in the last second before it
reaches the ground. find the height of the cliff.

8. Draw a-t, v-t and s-t graph for the motion of an object under free fall.

9. A stone falls from the top of a building and travels 34.3 m in the last second before reaching the
ground. calculate the height of a building.

10. During the last second of its free fall, a body covers half of the total distance covered. Calculate the
height from which the body falls and the duration of the fall.
