Did the same way
It can be solved by applying conservation of energy concept. Total energy at the top of the tower = Total energy at the ground We know that : [ total energy = potential energy(PE) + kinetic energy(KE) ]
KE at the top of the tower is zero and so is the PE at the ground. So the equation reduces to :
PE at the top of the tower = KE at the ground
mgh = 1/2 m v^2
gh = 0.5*v^2
h =0.5*v^2/g
h = 0.5*90^2/10
h = 405.
Using the formula V 2 = V o 2 + 2 g h we get:
9 0 2 = 0 + 2 0 × h
2 0 8 1 0 0 = 2 0 2 0 h
h = 4 0 5
Since it is a free fall acceleration so we will use this equation Vf = Vi + at to get the time first
Vi = 0 as it is a free fall acceleration Then
90 = 10 t
t = 9 seconds
To get the height of the tower which equals the distance covered by the ball we will use this equation
D = Vi t + half A t²
D = 0 + half 10 (9)²
D = 5 × 81 = 405
u could've just substituted in V² =Vo² + 2gD -_-
Given by :
v 0 = 0
v t = 9 0 m / s
g = 1 0 m / s 2
And we know that
So we can substitute the given value to the following equation
v t 2 = 0 + 2 g h
v t 2 = 2 g h
h = 2 g v t 2
h = 2 × 1 0 m / s 2 ( 9 0 m / s ) 2
h = 2 0 m / s 2 8 1 0 0 m 2 / s 2
And we get the height of the tower is 4 0 5 m
9 0 = 1 0 t
t = 9 seconds
d= 2 1 0 ∗ 9 2
d = 4 0 5 metres
I used the 4th equation of motion. V^2=u^2+2as WHere v is the velocity give, u is the initial velocity which is zero and a is the acceleration given. S is the height.
known : v=0m/s,v'=90m/s,g=10m/s^2 v'^2 = v^2 + 2gh 90^2 = 0^2 + 2 10 h h=405 m
We know that, v^2=2gh By substituting the given values, we get 90^2=2x10xh =>8100=20h =>h=810/2=405m Therefore the height of the tower is 405m
This problem involves an object acting under free-fall. The final velocity of the ball is given the value, v = 9 0 m / s . It is assumed that the initial velocity is zero, v 0 = 0 m / s . Also, since this is an object in free-fall the acceleration considered is the gravitational acceleration g = 9 . 8 m / s 2 ≈ ( 1 0 m / s 2 ). The formula used is v 2 = v 0 2 + 2 g h Solving this equation for h , we get, h = 2 g v 2 − v 0 2 . Substituting the given values is as follows, h = 2 0 m / s 2 8 1 0 0 m 2 / s 2 − 0 m 2 / s 2 = 4 0 5 m .
g h = 0.5 v^2
=> h = 0.5 (90^2)/ 10 = 405
GIVEN:
Initial V = 0 m/s
Final V = 90 m/s
G = 10 m/s
SOLUTION:
since V = Initial V + G * T
therefore 90 = 0 + 10T
therefore T = 10 seconds
since S (which is displacement) = Initial V * T + 1/2 G * T^2
therefore S = 1/2 * 10 * 9^2
therefore S = 405m
Actually T = 9 seconds *
I'm the only American on here :-\
2gh=v^2 →2 10 h=90^2 →h=405
We know that 2gh=v2 By substituting the given values, we get h=405 m Therefore the height of the tower is 405m
V^2 = Vo^2 +2gh; if Vo = 0,
h = V^2/2g
h= (90)^2/2.10
h = 8100/20 = 405 m.
I prefer to consider this as a graphical method. Consider a velocity-time graph. We wish to find out the distance, i.e. the area under the graph. This is a triangle since acceleration is constant. So we need to find out the maximum velocity (90m/s given in the question) and the time taken. Time taken is v/a = 90/10=9 seconds. So using 1/2 bh, we get 1/2 * 9 * 90 = 405m. So we are done
v=at(the initial velocity is 0 m/s). so t=v/a=90/10=9. again h=(1/2)at^2=(1/2)(10)(9^2)=405 m.
2gh=v^2 Therefore,h=v^2/2g Susbstituting the values, Ans=405
V final square is v initial square + 2ad
90 square = 0 square + 20d
Solve for d would be 405

We know that 2gh= v 2
By substituting the given values, we get
2 × g × h = 9 0 2
⇒ h= 2 × 1 0 8 1 0 0
⇒ h=405 m
Therefore the height of the tower is 4 0 5 m
