Practice question
Question
A stone is thrown horizontally at 10m/s from a height of 80m. What is its time of flight? (Take g\=10m/s2)
Explanation
Vertical motion: y=12gt2, where y=−80m. 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 4 s as the result, so option A is correct.
