If an object is thrown vertically up with initial speed u from the ground, then the time taken by the object to return back to ground is

A

`(u^(2))/(2g)`

B

`(u^(2))/(g)`

C

`(u)/(2g)`

D

`(2u)/(g)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`s = ut - (1)/(2) g t^(2)`
When returns to Ground
`s = h_("max")- h_("max") = 0 `
`0 = ut - (1)/(2) g t^(2)`
` ut = (1)/(2) g t^(2)`
`t = (2u)/(g)`
