Question

A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of 10 m s2, with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?

Solution

Height, s=20m
Acceleartion , a=10m/s2
By 3rd equation of motion
v2=u2+2as
v2=0+2×10×20=400
v=20m/s

So, we conclude final velocity , v=20m/s
again, by 1st equation of motion , v=u+at
t=vua
t=2010=2s
So, it will strike the ground after 2s
