A body is thrown horizontally with a velocity 'u' from a tower H meter high. After how much time and a what distance from the base of the tower will the body strik the ground ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H = 1/2g t^2`
time = `sqrt((2H)/g)` and horizontal distance `x = ut = u sqrt (2H/g)`
