A body is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity u. If acceleration due to gravity is g, the time for which it remains in air, is —
- u/g
- ug
- 2u/g
- u/2g

Answer
2u/g
Reason — At the maximum height, v = 0
maximum height = (from equation v2 = u2 - 2gh)
time taken by the body to reach the maximum height (t) = (from equation v = u - gt).
Hence, the same will be the time it takes to get back to the initial point from the highest point. So, total time of journey = 2t = .
∴ The time for which the body remains in air =
