2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
A ball dropped from the top of tower falls first half height of tower in $10 \,s$. The total time spend by ball in air is ......... $s$ [Take $g=10 \,m / s ^2$ ]
A$14.14$
B$15.25$
C$12.36$
D$17.36$
Solution

$\frac{-H}{2}=u t-\frac{1}{2} g \times 10^2$
$\Rightarrow H=g \times 10^2$
$\Rightarrow -H=-\frac{1}{2} g t^2 \quad$ (Full joumey)
$g \times 10^2=\frac{1}{2} g t^2$
$\Rightarrow t^2=200$
$\Rightarrow t=10 \sqrt{2} s$
$\Rightarrow t=10 \times 1.414 s$
$=14.14 s =t$
