A missile is fired for maximum range at your town from a place $100\, km$ away from you. If the missile is first detected at its half way point, how much warning time will you have ? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$) what was the speed of missile when it was detected ?

  • A

    $100\, m/s$

  • B

    $500\, m/s$

  • C

    $500\sqrt 2 \,s$

  • D

    $100\sqrt 2 \,s$
