Rectilinear Motion
Question

A body is allowed to fall from a height of  100m. After 2s if acceleration due to gravity vanishes the total time of its fall is g=10m/s2 in sec

Moderate
Solution

Distance travelled in 2s is h=12gt2 
                                  =12×10×22=20m
Velocity acquired after 2s is v=gt 
                                  =10×2=20m/s
As there is no acceleration, that body could travel the remaining distance 10020=80m with uniform velocity of 20m/s.
 The time taken for the remaining journey is t=8020=4s.
 Total time of motion is 2+4=6s
