Question

A stone of mass 2 kg is dropped from a height 40 meter. Calculate the speed when it hits the ground.Assume a constant air resistance force 20 N act on it.
  1. 8 m/s
  2. 12 m/s
  3. 16 m/s
  4. 0 m/s
  5. 10 m/s

A
10 m/s
B
12 m/s
C
16 m/s
D
0 m/s
E
8 m/s
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given : h=40 m m=2kg u=0m/s

Force due to air resistance f=20N

Acceleration of the stone a=gfm=10202=0 m/s2

Using v2u2=2aS

v20=2(0)×40 v=0m/s
