Question

State whether true or false.

The equations of motion are applicable to bodies projected vertically up with any velocity, for example, 8 km $s^{-1}$, for determining the maximum height.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Equations of motion are applicable to bodies projected vertically upward to determine the maximum height, unless, the projectile velocity exceeds the escape velocity of the planet. If it exceeds, then the body will never return and the maximum height can never be determined.
