Solution
The correct option is B11:9 The body reaches maximum height in 6 seconds and the velocity will be zero at maximum height. v=u−gt ⇒0=u−(9.81)(6) ⇒u=58.86m/s
Distance traveled in the first second is: s1=58.86(1)−0.5(9.81)(12)=53.955m Distance traveled in the eleventh second is the distance traveled in the 5th second during the descent, i.e.,
