- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Height (h) = 25 m
- Acceleration due to gravity (a) = 9.8 m/s^2
- Let the velocity with which the object hits the ground be v.
- We know, for a freely falling body,
v^2 = u^2 + 2gh
- Putting the values in the above equation we get,
v^2 = (0)^2 + 2 × 9.8 × 25
or, v^2 = 0 + 490
or, v^2 = 490
or, v = 22 m/s
Answer:
C. 22 meters/second
Hope you could get an idea from here.
