2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of $10\,ms^{-1}.$ It reaches the maximum vertical height $h$ in time $t.$ In $\frac {t}{2}$, the height covered is
A
$\frac {h}{2}$
B
$\frac {2h}{5}$
C
$\frac {3h}{4}$
D
$\frac {5h}{8}$
Solution
$\mathrm{h}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{gt}^{2} \quad \ldots(\mathrm{i})$
and $v=g t . .(\text { ii })$
$h^{\prime}=v \frac{t}{2}-\frac{1}{2} g\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)^{2}=g t \frac{t}{2}-\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} g t^{2}$
$=h-\frac{1}{4} h=\frac{3}{4} h$
