MCQ
A body, thrown upwards with some velocity, reaches the maximum height of $20\,m$. Another body with double the mass thrown up, with double initial velocity will reach a maximum height of..........$m$
  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $16$
  • $80$
  • D
    $40$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$80$
c
(c) Mass does not affect on maximum height.

$H = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2g}} \Rightarrow H \propto {u^2}$,

So if velocity is doubled then height will become four times. i.e. $H = 20 \times 4 = 80\,m$
