A ball is thrown vertically upward with velocity 5 m/sec It takes 10 sec for its upward journey The time taken by the ball for its downward journey is
A ball is thrown vertically upward with velocity 5 m/sec It takes 10 sec for its upward journey The time taken by the ball for its downward journey is
Show Hint
For vertical motion under gravity the time taken for upward and downward journeys are equal in the absence of air resistance

- 10 sec
- 50 sec
- 2 sec
- 20 sec
Show Solution
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In the absence of air resistance, the time taken for upward and downward travel is equal due to constant gravitational acceleration. Given that the upward journey takes 10 seconds, the downward journey will also take 10 seconds. Consequently, the total journey time is 10 + 10 = 20 seconds.
