• Laws of motion
(1) v = u + at
(1) s = ut + 1/2(at2)
(1) v2 = u2 + 2as
s = ut + 1/2(at2)
= 0 + 0.5*3*(35)2 = 1837.5 m
v2-u2=2as
0-(35)2=2a*(200)
a= - 3.06 ms-2
Required time
v=u+at
0=35-3.06t = 11.43s
Motion under Gravity
(1) v = u + gt
(2) s = ut + 1/2(gt2)
(3) v2 = u2 + 2gs
A ball thrown up is caught by the thrower after 4s. How
high did it go and with what velocity it was thrown?
time of ascent = time of descent=4/2=2s
v=u - gt
u=19.6 ms-1
v2 = u2 - 2gs
0 = (19.6)2 – 2(9.8)s
