Nice 1-dimension question Question solution
(Past exam question)
(i) At the maximum height v=0
Then EITHER:
Equate displacements and solve for t
OR
Sub in the given value for t to show the
displacement is the same
2
Time of flight: Range and Max height:

Key
Need to make the distinction with the
objects velocity at a given time, i.e. horiz
constant, vertical changing, hence
resultant changes.
