A stone is thrown from a bridge horizontally with a speed of 20m/s. The stone lands below 2.5 seconds later. How high is the bridge?
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Given-
Ux = 20 m/s
Uy = 0 m.s
t = 2.5 sec
As, stone will fall down with the speed of the gravity,
Therefore,
Acceleration along y axis = 9.8 m/s2
