If a ball is thrown vertically upwards with speed `u`, the distance covered during the last `t` second of its ascent is

A

`ut-(g t^(2)//2)`

B

`(u+g t)t`

C

`ut`

D

`g t^(2)//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Let t second of upward journey = first t second of dowanward journey (with zero initial velocity)
`therefore` Desired distance `=(1)/(2)g t^(2)`
