apliy the motion secon equation and put u=0 and h=50 g=9.8 and find time
do you know what the pormula is?
Actually what is the answer??
S = S o + V o ⋅ t + 2 α ⋅ t 2 5 0 = 0 + 0 + 2 1 0 t 2 5 t 2 = 5 0 t 2 = 1 0 t = 3 . 1 9 s
since,S=ut+1/2at^2 , h=1/2gt^2(as,u=0)
We get,
50=1/2*9.8*t^2
50=4.9*t^2
t^2=50/4.9=500/49
rooting on both sides,we get,
t=+or- 22.3/7
And since time cannot be negative,
Therefore,t=22.3/7
So,t=3.1943828249997

s = u t + 2 1 a t 2 ⟹ 5 0 m = 0 × t + 2 1 × 9 . 8 m/s 2 × t 2
⟹ t 2 × 4 . 9 m/s 2 = 5 0 m ⟹ t 2 = 4 . 9 m/s 2 5 0 m
∴ t = 4 . 9 m/s 2 5 0 m ≈ 3 . 1 9 seconds
