A body is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower of height `5 m`. It touches the ground at a distance of `10 m` from the foot of the tower. Find the initial velocity of the body.

A

`2.5 ms^(-1)`

B

`5 ms^(-1)`

C

`10 ms^(-1)`

D

`20 ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`S = u xx sqrt((2h)/(g)) rArr 10 = u sqrt(2xx (5)/(10)) rArr u = 10 ms^(-1)`
