Q.

A ball is thrown vertically downward with a velocity of 20 m/s from the top of a tower. It hits the ground after some time with a velocity of 80 m/s. The height of the tower is (g = 10 m/s2)                   [2020]

1 360 m  
2 340 m  
3 320 m  
4 300 m  

Ans.

(4)

Here, u=20m/s,v=80m/s,g=10m/s2,h=?

v2=u2+2gh802=202+2×10×h. Hence, h=300m
