Question

a stone of mass 2.5 kg is dropped from a height of 490m and falls freely to the ground calculate the time taken by the stone to reach the ground
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance (s) =20 m

Initial velocity =0 m/s

g=10 m/s

By using the formula:

v

+2×10×20

v

=400

v

=

400

v=20m/s

For calculating time:

V=u+at

20=0+10×t

t=

10

20

t=2 sec

The the stone will hit the ground with a velocity of 20 m/s in sec.
