NEET PHYSICSEasy

A boy standing at the top of a tower of 20 m height drops a stone. Assuming g = 10 m/s², the velocity with which it hits the ground will be:

A

20 m/s

B

40 m/s

C

5 m/s

D

10 m/s

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify Given Values: Initial velocity (uu) = 0 (dropped from rest). Displacement (hh) = 20 m.
  • Acceleration due to gravity (gg) = 10 m/s².
  1. Select Kinematic Equation: Use the third equation of motion connecting velocity, displacement, and acceleration: v2=u2+2ghv^2 = u^2 + 2gh
  2. Calculation: v2=(0)2+2(10)(20)v^2 = (0)^2 + 2(10)(20) v2=400v^2 = 400 v=400=20 m/sv = \sqrt{400} = 20 \text{ m/s}
