Question

Calculate the height from from which a body is released from rest if its velocity just before hitting the ground is30m\s

Answer 1

Answer:

height = 45 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 30 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = +10m/s^2 ( because ball is going down )

Using the eqn of motion

${v}^{2} - {u}^{2} = 2gh$

where v= final velocity ; u = initial velocity ; g = acceleration due to gravity ; h = height

So,

${30}^{2} - {0}^{2} = 2 \times 10 \times h$

$= > 20h = 900$

$= > h = \frac{900}{20} = 45$
