A fall thrown vertically upwards with a speed
of 20 ms-¹ from the top of a tower reaches
the earth in 8seconds. find the height of the
tower.
take g= 10ms-²

Sagot :

Answer:

Height of tower = 480 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach ground = 8 second

So,

Final velocity = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Find:

Height of tower

Computation:

s = ut + (1/2)(g)(t)²

s = (20)(8) + (1/2)(10)(8)²

s = 160 + (1/2)(10)(64)

s = 160 + (10)(32)

s = 160 + 320

s = 480 meter

Height of tower = 480 meter
