Question

If an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 ms ^-1 from the top of a building of height 100 m. What is the horizontal distance covered by the particle?

Answer 1

Given,

Initial speed =10 ms^-1

Height of the building (h) = 100 m

Range =?

Solution:

Range of the object = R = `usqrt((2h)/g) = 10sqrt(200/9.8)` = 45.1 m

R = 45 m.
