A stone is released from the top of a tower 125 m high. Then find:(1) the time with which the stone strikes the ground.(2) the final velocity of the stone. (Take g = 10 m/s2) |
Answer» We are given that: Height of tower (h) = 125 m Initial velocity (u) = 0 g = 10 m/s2 (1) From 2nd equation of motion For downward motion: h = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2 ⇒ 125 = 0 x t + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 10 x t2 = 125 = 5t2 ⇒ t2 = 25 ⇒ t = 5sec2 (2) From 1st equation of motion, v = u + gt ⇒ u = 0 + 10 x 5 ⇒ v = 50 m/s |
