Answer» Correct Answer - C Height from where the stoneis dropped = 1/2 gt^2` ` = 1/2 xx 9.8 8 xx 5%2 = 4.9 xx 9 m` Vertoca, dpwmward dostamce covered by stone in `3` seconds ` 1/2 xx 9.0 xx 3^2 = 4.9 xx 9 m` Velocity attained `= 9.8 xx 3 ms^(-1)` Remaining distance ` 4.9 xx 25-4.9 xx 9` `= 4.9 xx 16 m` If ` t_1` is the tiem taken to cover the remaining distance when stone is dropped again (u=0)` ` 4.9 xx 16 1/2 xx 9.8 t^2` ` t= sqrty16 = 4 s`. |
