Question:
How long does it take for a brick to reach the ground if dropped from a height of 45 m? What will be its velocity just before it reaches the ground?
Options:
(A) 2s,20 m/s
(B) 3.645s, 35.67 m/s
(C) 38s, 10 m/s
(D) 5s, 25.10 m/s
(E) 3.03s, 29.7 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
- Height = Distance travelled (s) = 45 m
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Time taken (t)
- Final velocity (v)
Time taken:
➻ By the second equation of motion, we know that
s = ut + 1/2 × a × t²
where a = acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²
➻ Substituting the datas we get,
45 = 0 × t + 1/2 × 9.8 × t²
t² = 45 × 2/9.8
t² = 90/9.8
t = √9.18
t = 3.03 s
➻ Hence time taken = 3.03 s
Final velocity:
➻ By the first equation we know that
v = u + at
➻ Substituting the datas we get,
v = 0 + 9.8 × 3.03
v = 29.7 m/s
➻ Hence the final velocity is 29.7 m/s
Hence options E is correct.
The three equations of motion are:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + 1/2 × a × t²
- v² - u² = 2as
