A body is projected horizontally from a height of `20 m`. It reaches the ground at a horizontally distance of `40 m`. The speed of practicle when it hits the ground is

A

`10 m//s`

B

`10 sqrtm//s`

C

`20 m//s`

D

`20 sqrt(2) m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Equation of trajectory
`y = (g x^(2))/(2 u^(2)) rArr 20 = (10(40)^(2))/(2 u^(2))`
`u = 20 m//s`
