A body dropped from the top of tower takes 4 sec to hit the ground.How much time does it takes to cover second half tower (g =10 m/s^2) |
Answer» ANSWER :Time taken by body to hot the ground = 4s We have to find time taken by body to cover second half of the tower ★ First of all we need to find HEIGHT of the tower. For a body falling freely under the action of gravity, g is taken positive. For FREE falling motion, u = zero ➝ H = ut + 1/2 gt² ➝ H = 0 + 1/2 (10)(4)² ➝ H = 1/2 (160) ➝ H = 80 m Now let's find time taken by body to cover first half of the tower. Height of first half will be 40m. ➝ H/2 = ut₁ + 1/2 gt₁² ➝ 40 = 0 + 1/2 (10)(t₁)² ➝ 40 = 5t₁² ➝ t₁² = 8 ➝ t₁ = 2.82 m Time taken by body to cover second half : ➝ t = t₁ + t₂ ➝ 4 = 2.82 + t₂ ➝ t₂ = 1.18 s ∴ Body will take 1.18s to cover second half of the tower. |
