An orange fruit drops to the ground from the top of a tree 45m tall. How long does it takes to reach the ground? (g = 10ms-2)

A.

3.0s

B.

4.5s

C.

6.0s

D.

7.5s

E.

9.0s

Correct answer is A

s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}gt^2\)

45 = 0 + 5t2

t = 3s

A body moving with uniform acceleration has two points(5, 15) and (20, 60) on the velocity-times graph of its motion. Calculate the acceleration

A.

0.25ms-2

B.

3.00ms-2

C.

4.00ms-2

D.

9.00ms-2

E.

16.00ms-2

Correct answer is B

slope = acceleration

a = \(\frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2 - t_1} = \frac{60- 15}{20 - 5}\)

= 3ms-2

A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a hill with a velocity of 20m-1. If it reaches the ground 4 seconds later, what is the height of the hill? (g = 10ms-2)

A.

20m

B.

40m

C.

80m

D.

160m

E.

200m

Correct answer is C

Initial horizontal velocity = 20ms-1

Initial vertical velocity = 0

s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}gt^2\) = 0 x 5 x 42

= 80m
