\huge\underline{\underline{\bf \orange{Question-}}}

A hiker stands on the edge of a cliff 490m above the ground and throws a stone horizontally with SPEED ground and throws of 15 m/s. The time TAKEN by the stone to REACH the ground is

\huge\underline{\underline{\bf \orange{Solution-}}}

\large\underline{\underline{\sf Given:}}

  • H = 490m
  • v = 15m/s

\large\underline{\underline{\sf To\:Find:}}

  • Time taken by stone to reach the ground (t)

We KNOW that ,

\large{\boxed{\bf \blue{t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2H}{g}}} }}

\implies{\sf t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2×490}{g}} }

\implies{\sf t = \sqrt{\dfrac{980}{9.8}} }

\implies{\sf t = \sqrt{100}}

\implies{\sf t = 10\:s }

\huge\underline{\underline{\bf \orange{Answer-}}}

Option (b) 10s

The time taken by the stone to reach

the ground is {\bf \red{10s}}.
