A body is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 30 m s−1. Find the maximum height it reaches and the time it takes to return. Take g = 10 m s−2.

For equal distances the average speed is the harmonic mean, 2v1v2/(v1 + v2) = 2 × 40 × 60 ÷ 100 = 48 km h−1.

Distinguish between average velocity and instantaneous velocity.
Kinematics
A body is projected with a speed of 20 m s−1 at 30° to the horizontal. Find the maximum height reached and the time of flight. Take g = 10 m s−2.
Kinematics
For a projectile launched at speed u, at what angle is the horizontal range greatest, and what is that range?
