Question on: JAMB Physics - 2009

A bullet fired vertically from upward from a gun held 2.0 m above the ground reaches its maximum height in 4.0s. calculate its initial velocity.


[g = 10ms-2]

A
10 ms-1
B
8 ms-1
C
40 ms-1
D
20 ms-1
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C

At maximum height, the final velocity, v = 0

thus from v = u + at

      0 = u - at <br />

    ∴ U = at = 10 x 4 = 40 mls
