Question

a stone is projected horizontally with 20 m/a from top of a tall building. calculate it's position and velocity after 3s neglecting the air resistance​

Answer 1

1. 45 m

2. 50 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Time (t) = 3 s

1. Determination of the position (i.e height)

Time (t) = 3 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 10 × 3²

h = 5 × 9

h = 45 m

2. Determination of the velocity.

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Time (t) = 3 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 20 + (10 × 3)

v = 20 + 30

v = 50 m/s
