2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
A ball is thrown upwards from the top of a tower $40\,m$ high with a velocity of $10\,m/s$ , find the time when it strikes the ground ........$sec$ : $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

A
$8$
B
$1$
C
$4$
D
$6$
Solution
$-40=+10 t-\frac{1}{2}(10) t^{2}$
$-4=t-\frac{1}{2} t^{2}$
$t^{2}-2 t-8=0 \Rightarrow(t-4)(t+2)=0$
$\therefore t=4 s$
