Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 52

Question: A body is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower of height 5 m.It touches the ground at a distance of 10 m from the foot of the tower.The initial velocity of the body is (g = 10 ms?2)

[EAMCET (Engg.) 2000]

Options:

A) $ 2.5ms^{1} $ B)$ 5ms^{1} $ C) $ 10ms^{1} $ D) $ 20ms^{1} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ S=u\times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} $

Therefore $ 10=u\sqrt{2\times \frac{5}{10}} $

Therefore $ u=10,m/s $
