Question #1
A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 20 m/s. The maximum height reached (g = 10 m/s²) is
A. 20 m
B. 40 m
C. 10 m
D. 200 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Using v² = u² - 2gH, at maximum height v = 0. So 0 = 20² - 2×10×H => 400 = 20H => H = 20 m. Alternative formula: H = u²/(2g) = 400/20 = 20 m. Remember to use consistent units. For quick calculation, u²/(2g) is handy.
