A stone throw upward having speed equation $S =9.8 t-4.9 t^2$ where S in $m / s$. What will be the time to achieve maximum height ?
A
2 sec
B
1$1 / 2 sec$
✓
1 sec
D
$1 / 2 sec$
Answer
Correct option: C.
1 sec
(C) $ \begin{aligned} S & =9.8 t-4.9 t^2 \\ \frac{d S}{d t} & =9.8-9.8 t \end{aligned} $ To achieve maximum height, final velocity will be zero.$ \begin{aligned} 0 & =9.8-9.8 t \\ t & =\frac{9.8}{9.8}=1 sec \end{aligned} $ Hence correct option is (C).
