A stone is thrown horizontally at 14m/s from a height of 39.2m. What is its time of flight? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)

Vertical motion: y=12gt2, where y=−39.2m. 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 12 gt as the result, so option A is correct.

A stone is dropped from a height of 20m with a horizontal speed of 10m/s. What is its horizontal distance from the drop

For free fall, s=½gt² and v²=2gh per NCERT. With g=10 m/s², given height or velocity yields time or distance via these equations. Substituting values gives result matching 20 m. This confirms option C as correct by uniformly accelerated motion equations.

A stone is thrown horizontally at 7m/s from a height of 31.25m. What is its time of flight? (Take g\=10m/s2)

Vertical motion: y=12gt2, where y=−31.25m. 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 12 gt as the result, so option A is correct.

A stone is projected horizontally with a speed of 10 m/s from a height of 20 m. How long does it take to reach the groun

For vertical motion: y = v₀y t + (1/2) a\_y t², where v₀y = 0, a\_y = -g. 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 2 s as the result, so option A is correct.
