Answer:


\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{61.22 \ m}}

Explanation:

A stone is thrown downward straightly with the velocity of 20 m/s and it reaches the ground at the velocity of 40 m/s. What will be the height of building? (Question)

The initial velocity ⇒ 20 m/s

The final velocity ⇒ 40 m/s

We can apply a formula to solve for the height of the building.


(V_f)2 - (V_i)^2 =2gh


V_f = \sf final \ velocity \ (m/s)


V_i = \sf initial \ velocity \ (m /s)


g = \sf acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity \ (m/s^2 )


h = \sf height \ (m)

Plugging in the values.

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².


(40)^2 - (20)^2 =2(9.8)h

Solve for
h.


1600 - 400 =19.6h


1200 =19.6h


\displaystyle h=(1200)/(19.6)


h= 61.22449

The height of the building is 61.22 meters.
