2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
A body is released from the top of a tower of height $H\, metre$. After $2\, seconds$ it is stopped and then instantaneously released. What will be its height after next $2\, seconds$ ?
A
$(H -5)\, metre$
B
$(H -10)\, metre$
C
$(H -20)\, metre$
D
$(H -40)\, metre$
Solution
Distance covered by by the object in first $2 s$ $h_{1}=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 2^{2}=20 m$
Similarly, destance covered by the object invext $2 s$ will also be $20 m$ hence the required height $=H-20-20=H-40 m$
