A stone drops from the edge of the roof. If it!passes a window 2 metre high in 0.1 sec.How far is the roof above the top of the window. |

Answer» The object is falling under gravity. As it is moving towards the earth, Its acceleration is +g. As it is dropped, It has initial velocity = 0 . The stone passes the window of 2m high in 0.1s . Let the distance between the roof and that window be " k " km and the time taken to reach that " k "m is t That is k = 1/2gt² ( From the second equation of motion) Given that, Stone passes through the window in 0.1 second. So it travels k+2 m in t + 0.1seconds . k + 2 = 1/2g(t+ 0.1)² Substituting the value of k, 1/2gt² + 2 = 1/2g(t²+0.01 + 0.2t) 1/2gt² - 1/2gt² + 2 = 0.005 g + 0.1gt 2 = 0.005 * 10 + 0.1(10)t 2= 0.05 + t 2 - 0.05 = t 1.95 = t. Therefore, The stone takes 1.95seconds to travel from roof to top of the window. Now, We have to find The distance between roof and top of the window ( k) k = 1/2(10)(t²)k = 5t² k = 5(1.95)²k = 19.0125 Therefore, The height of the roof above the top of the window is 19.0125m |
