a ball is dropped from a hieght of 20 m tower with 10 m/s2 rate of change velocity .what will be the velocity before its hit too the ground?
Answers
To Find :–
The Final velocity of the Ball before reaching the ground :-
Given :–
- Height of the building = 20 m.
- Acceleration of the ball = 10 m/s².
We Know :–
First' Equation of Motion :-
.
Where :-
- v = Final Velocity
- u = Initial velocity
- g = Acceleration due to gravity
- t = time taken
Second Equation of Motion :-
Where :-
- h = Height of the Tower
- u = Initial velocity
- t = Time taken
- g = Acceleration due to gravity
Third Equation of Motion :-
Where :-
Note :- The Acceleration in laws of motion under Gravity is taken g.
Concept :–
According to the question, the ball is dropped from the top of the tower whose height is 20 m .
Hence, by the Using the formula for height , we can find the time taken to reach the ground and then by using the First Equation of Motion , we can find the final velocity of the ball.
Analysis :-
The Acceleration due to gravity is taken as postive when the body is moving under Gravity.
The Acceleration due to gravity is taken as negative when the body is moving against Gravity.
The initial velocity is 0 when the body is falling .(u = 0)
The Final Velocity is 0 at the highest point. (v = 0)
Obtaining the Equation from Second Equation of Motion , when u = 0.
Using the Second Equation of Motion and putting initial velocity as 0 in the Equation , we get :-
[Note :- The Acceleration due to gravity will be positive as the body is moving under Gravity ]
Hence, the Formula obtained for height of an object is .
Solution :–
To Find the Time Taken while Falling from the building :-
Given :-
- Height = 20 m
- Acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²
Let the time taken be t sec.
Using the formula and substituting the values in it,we get :-
.
Hence, the time taken to reach the ground is 2 s.
To Find the Final velocity of the ball :-
Given :-
- u = 0 m/s [Since it is falling under Gravity]
- t = 2 s
- g = 10 m/s²
Let the final velocity be v m/s
Using the First Equation of Motion and substituting the values in it ,we get :-
Hence, the Final velocity is 20 m/s.
Alternative Method :-
Given :-
- u = 0 m/s
- g = 10 m/s²
- S = 20 m
Let the Final velocity be v m/s .
Using the third Equation of Motion and substituting the values in it ,we get :-
.
Hence, the Final velocity is 20 m/s.
Explanation:
Let us assume, the final velocity with which ball will strike the ground be ‘v’ and time it takes to strike the ground be ‘t’
Given parameters :-
Initial Velocity of the ball (u)= 0
Distance or height of fall (s)=
Downward acceleration (a)=
As we know,
=
=
=
Final velocity of ball (v) =
Time taken by the ball to strike (t) =
t =
t = 2 seconds
The final velocity with which ball will strike the ground is (v) =
The time it takes to strike the ground (t) = 2 seconds

Acceleration
The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration it is a vector quantity.It is denoted by “a”
Velocity
The Rate of change of displacement is velocity. It is a vector quantity. Here the direction of motion is specified.
Speed
Speed is the rate of change of distance. If a body covers a certain distance in a certain amount of time, its speed is given by
