COMEDK · Physics · 3. Motion In One Dimension

A stone dropped from the top of the tower reaches ground in \(4 \mathrm{~s}\). Height of the tower is \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(40 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(60 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(80 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(80 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(t=4 \mathrm{~s}, u=0, g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) Using equation of motion, \(h=u t+\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(4)^{2}=80 \mathrm{~m}\)
