Answer:
Height of tower = 480 meter
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity = 20 m/s
Time taken to reach ground = 8 second
So,
Final velocity = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
Find:
Height of tower
Computation:
s = ut + (1/2)(g)(t)²
s = (20)(8) + (1/2)(10)(8)²
s = 160 + (1/2)(10)(64)
s = 160 + (10)(32)
s = 160 + 320
s = 480 meter
Height of tower = 480 meter
