Question:medium

A body projected vertically up with an initial speed of $10\text{ ms}^{-1}$ reaches the point of projection after sometime with a speed of $8\text{ ms}^{-1}$. The maximum height reached by the body is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10\text{ ms}^{-2}$)

Show Hint

When speed decreases upon return to the same point, mechanical energy is lost due to non-conservative forces like air drag. Use Work-Energy principle separately for ascent and descent.
