Answer»

answer : option (3)

explanation : A ball is projected vertically upwards at t = 0. The ball is at same height at time 4 s and 8 s.

The trajectory of the ball obeys the equation , S = ut + 1/2 (-g)t² , [where u is initial velocity of ball,and g is acceleration DUE to gravity. ]

so, at t = 4s and 8s , height of ball remains same.

putting value of t = 4s

S = u(4) + 1/2(-g) × (4)² = 4u - 8g ....(1)

putting value of t = 8s

S = u(8) + 1/2(-g) × (8)² = 8U - 32g .....(2)

from EQUATIONS (1) and (2),

S - S = (8u - 32g) - (4u - 8g)

or, 0 = (8u - 4u) - (32g - 8g)

or, 0 = 4u - 24g

or, u = 6G.....(1)

at maximum height velocity of ball becomes zero.

so, final velocity of ball , v = 0

now using formula, v² = u² + 2(-g)h

here, v = 0, u = 6g

so, 0 = (6g)² - 2gh

or, h = 36g²/2g = 18g

when g = 10m/s²

then, h = 180m

hence, maximum height attained by the ball is 180m
