If a stone thrown vertically upwards from a bridge with an initial velocity of \(5 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\), strikes the water below the bridge in a time of 3 s, then the height of the bridge above the water surface is
(Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) )

  1. A 10 m
  2. B 26 m
  3. C 30 m
  4. D 18 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 30 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\) \(s = (-5)(3) + \frac{1}{2}(10)(3)^2\) \(s = -15 + 45 = 30 \mathrm{~m}\)
