An object of mass 5 kg is thrown vertically upwards from the ground. The air resistance produces a constant retarding force of 10 N throughout the motion. The ratio of time of ascent to the time of descent will be equal to : [Use g=10 m s-2].
  1. 1:1
  2. 2:3
  3. 3:2
  4. 2:3

Solution

Net force while going upward will be mg+R=50+10=60 N

aup=605=12 m s-2

Similarly, Net force while going downward will be mg-R=40 N

ad=405=8 m s-2

Since
