A boy throw a ball ertically upwards and catches it after 2 seconds. Which of the following is true regrading the motion of the ball?
(a) The displacement is zero
(b) Magnitude of acceleration is constant

A

Only (i) is true.

B

Only (ii) is true.

C

Both (i) and (ii) are true.

D

Both (i) and (ii) are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The initial and final positions of the body are same. Therefore, displacement is zero and acceleration of the body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and it is a constant.
