A body is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower of height 5m. It touches the ground at a distance of 10 m from the foot of the tower. The initial velcotiy (in m/s) of the body is (g=10ms^(-2) )

For body thrown horizontally from the top of a tower,

A body of mass m is projected horizontally with a velocity v from the top of a tower of height h and it reaches the ground at a distance x from the foot of the tower. If a second body of mass 2m is projected horizontally from the top of a tower of height 2h, it reaches the ground at a distance 2x from the foot of the tower. The horizontal velocity of the second body is :

A body of mass m is projected horizontally with a velocity v from the top of a tower of height h and it reaches the ground at a distance x from the foot of the tower. If a second body of mass 2 m is projected horizontally from the top of a tower of height 2 h , it reaches the ground at a distance 2x from the foot of the tower.
