Practice question
Question
A ball is thrown upwards at 20 m/s from a 50 m tower. What is its speed when it passes 20 m below the tower’s top? (Take g = 10 m/s² )
Explanation
Given:
A ball is thrown upwards at 20 m/s from a 50 m tower. What is its speed when it passes 20 m below the tower’s top? (Take g = 10 m/s² )
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Displacement y = -20 m, v² = (20)² + 2 · 10 · 20 = 400 + 400 = 800.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
v = sqrt800 approx 28.28 m/s .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
