Question

A ball is thrown horizontally at 12m/s from a height of 19.6m. What is its speed on hitting the ground? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Vertical velocity: vy=2gh=2×9.8×19.6=384.16≈19.6m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 20 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.
