Solution

The correct option is B 1.25 m, 0.5 s

Here,
Initial velocity, u=5 m s1, and
acceleration, a=10 m s2
At the highest point,
final velocity, v=0
Using, v2=u2+2as,
0=52+[2×(10)×s]
20s=25
Distance, s=2520=1.25 m
Hence, the height attained by the coin is 1.25 m.
Let, the time taken be t.
using v=u+at,
0=510t
t=510=0.5 s
Thus, time taken by the coin to reach there is 0.5 s.
