A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the top of a tower with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The ball reaches the ground after 5 s. Calculate the height of the tower.
Added by Anuj C.
Step 1
Step 1: Write down the given values: - Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s - Time taken to reach the ground (t) = 5 s - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s^2 Show more…
