Q.
A body of mass 500g is thrown upwards from the surface of a planet with velocity 20m/s and reaches back to the surface of the planet after 20s. Then the weight of the body on that planet is
Here, u=20m/s,m=500g=0.5kg,t=20s
Using h=ut+21gt2
where g is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. 0=20×20+21(−g)(20)2 or g=2m/s2
Weight of the body on the planet =mg=0.5kg×2m/s2=1N
