Question

a stone dropped off a height 1 metre after what time it will strike the ground​

Answer 1

Height, s=20m

Initial velocity, u=0

Acceleration due to gravity, g=10 m/s

2

Final velocity, v=?

Time taken, t=?

(i) Using relation,

s=u t+

2

20=0×t+

×10×t

20=0+5t

=4

t=

=2 s

(ii)For a freely falling body:

v

2

=u

2

+2gh

=(0)

2

+2×(10)×(20)

So, v

=400

v=

400

=20 m/s

The speed of stone when it hits the ground will be 20m/s.
