A body is projected vertically up. What is the distance covered in its last second of upward motion? `(g=10 m//s^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The distance covered by the object in its last second of its upward motion is equal to the distance covered in the first second of its downward motion.
Hence `s=1//2 gt^(2)=1//2 xx 10 xx 1=5 m`
