At what time, t, will an object thrown vertically upward at 30 m/s reach its maximum height? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
A6 s
B1.5 s
C2 s
D3 s
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 3 s
At maximum height, v = 0. Using v = u + at with u = 30, a = −g = −10: 0 = 30 − 10t → t = 3 s.
The object spends 3 s going up and another 3 s coming back to the launch point (total flight time 6 s).
