Question Number 209432 by Tawa11 last updated on 10/Jul/24
A body is projected vertically upwards with
a speed of 20m/s. Find the time in seconds
when the body is 15m above it point of projection.
g= 10m/s²

$${s}={ut}−\frac{{gt}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}\Rightarrow\mathrm{15}=\mathrm{20}{t}−\mathrm{5}{t}^{\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow{t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{t}+\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{t}=\mathrm{3}\:{or}\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$
