3. From the top of a multi-storeyed building, 39.2 m
tall, a boy projects a stone vertically upwards with
an initial velocity of 9.8 ms - such that it finally
drops to the ground. (i) When will the stone reach
the ground ? (ii) When will it pass through the point
of projection ? (iii) What will be its velocity before
striking the ground ? Take g = 9.8 ms-2.​

S=−40m, u=+10m/s, a=g=−10m/s

According to equation,

S=ut+0.5at

−40=10t−0.5∗10∗t

5t

−10t−40=0

t

−2t−8=0

t=4sec or t=−2sec

Ignoring negative root of equation,

t=4sec

i) Time taken to reach the ground

The height reached by the projectile from point of projection is :

v² = u² - 2gs

g = 9.8

U = 9.8

v = 0

0 = 96. 04 - 19.6S

19.6S = 96.04

S = 96.04/19.6

S = 4.9m

The time taken to reach this height is :

t = u/g

= 9.8/9.8 = 1

Total height from the ground : 4.9 + 39.2 = 44.1

It takes 2 secs to fall back to the point of projection.

The final velocity would be:

V = u + gt

V = 0 + 9.8

V = 9.8

This is the initial velocity with which it falls from the point of projection to the ground.

Now using the formulae below, we can get time it takes to fall from point of projection.

S = 39.2

S = ut + 0.5gt²

39.2 = 9.8t + 4.9t²

Dividing through by 4.9

8 = 2t + t²

t² + 2t - 8 = 0

Solving by quadratic method we have:

The roots are : (-2, 4)

t² + 4t - 2t - 8 = 0

t(t + 4) - 2(t + 4) = 0

(t+4)(t - 2) = 0

t = - 4 or 2

So we take 2 since it is positive.

The total time taken to reach the ground is thus :  

2 + 2 = 4 seconds

Answer : 4 seconds.

ii) Time taken to pass through point of projection is :

From the working above, the answer is 2

iii)Velocity before striking the ground.

We will use the formulae below:

V² = U² + 2gs

U = 9.8

S = 39.2

g = 9.8

V² = 96.04 + 768.32

V = √864.36 = 29.4

= 29.4m/s

Hoe this helps...
